About this title

Synopsis

Covering interface science from a novel surface science perspective, this unique handbook offers a comprehensive overview of this burgeoning field.

Eight topical volumes cover basic concepts and methods, elemental and composite surfaces, solid-gas, solid-liquid and inorganic biological interfaces, as well as applications of surface science in nanotechnology, materials science and molecular electronics.

With its broad scope and clear structure, it is ideal as a reference for scientists in the field, as well as an introduction for newcomers.

About the Authors

Klaus Wandelt is Full Professor in Physical Chemistry and Director of the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Bonn, Germany. In 1975 he received his PhD on electron spectroscopic investigations of alloy surfaces. After a postdoctoral stay at the IBM-Research Laboratory in San Jose, California, he qualified as a professor on the concept and detection of the local work function in 1981.

His research interests focuses on fundamental aspects of the physics and chemistry of metal surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum conditions and in electrolytes, on the atomic structure of amorphous materials, and more recently on processes at the surface of plants.

Professor Wandelt has organized numerous national and international conferences and workshops, edited conference proceedings and books, and published about 400 research papers.

Klaus Wandelt ist Direktor des Instituts für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie an der Universität Bonn. Er promovierte im Jahr 1975 und habilitierte sich 1981 nach einem Postdoc-Aufenthalt am IBM-Research Laboratory in San Jose, Kalifornien. Seine Forschungsaktivitäten konzentrieren sich auf die Charakterisierung von Festkörperoberflächen im Hinblick auf strukturelle und elektronische Eigenschaften. Dies ist verbunden mit der Modifizierung von Oberflächen auf atomarem Niveau und der Untersuchung elementarer Prozesse wie Absorption, Schichtenwachstum und heterogene Katalyse.
Professor Wandelt hat zahlreiche nationale und internationale Workshops und Konferenzen organisiert und rund 350 wissenschaftliche Arbeiten veröffentlicht, darunter Buchkapitel und Bücher. Klaus Wandelt ist langjähriger Editor der Fachzeitschrift 'Surface Science'.
