Introduction to Surface Physics (Paperback)

Paperback. This text, aimed at final-year undergraduate students and new postgraduates in physics, provides a broad introduction to surface physics, covering key areas of surface studies.Techniques are described that are used to determine which atoms are present on a surface and in what quantities, and to determine their relative arrangement. New results and theoretical advances are included, which provide fresh insights into the phenomena that occurat surfaces.Selected case studies are presented with particular reference to the (lll) surface of elemental silicon to illustrate the application of relevant techniques to theelectronic, vibrational, and adsoption properties of surfaces. A brief introduction to the study of solid surfaces. It covers techniques used to obtain information about the chemical composition and crystallography, together with some of the theory of solid surfaces. Case studies are included and the emphasis is placed on approaches used in the study of the face of silicon crystals. This item is printed on demand.
