Scanning Tunneling Microscopy III: Theory of Stm and Related Scanning Probe Methods (Springer Series in Surface Sciences)

This book provide a unique introduction to the theory of scanning tunneling microscopy and related scanning probe methods. It is written by experts who have developed the theoretical foundations for understanding the contrast mechanisms involved in the various local probe methods. An overview of the different theoretical approaches is presented which will be helpful for every theorist starting in this field. On the other hand, the implications fo the theoretical results are discussed in detail. Therefore, this book will serve as a most useful guide for experimentalists as wll, facilitating the interpretation of their data.

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy III provides a unique introduction to the theoretical foundations of scanning tunneling microscopy and related scanning probe methods. The different theoretical concepts developed in the past are outlined, and the implications of the theoretical results for the interpretation of experimental data are discussed in detail. Therefore, this book serves as a most useful guide for experimentalists as well as for theoreticians working in the filed of local probe methods. In this second edition the text has been updated and new methods are discussed.
