Surface science has evolved from being a sub-field of chemistry orphysics, and has now established itself as an interdisciplinarytopic. Knowledge has developed sufficiently that we can nowunderstand catalysis from a surface science perspective. No-whereis the underpinning nature of surface science better illustratedthan with nanoscience.
Now in its third edition, this successful textbook aims toprovide students with an understanding of chemical transformationsand the formation of structures at surfaces. The chapters buildfrom simple to more advanced principles with each featuringexercises, which act not only to demonstrate concepts arising inthe text but also to form an integral part of the book, with thelast eight chapters featuring worked solutions.
This completely revised and expanded edition features:
* More than 100 new pages of extensive worked solutions
* New topics, including: Second harmonic generation (SHG), SumFrequency Generation (SFG) at interfaces and capillary waves
* An expanded treatment of charge transfer and carbon-basedmaterials including graphene
* Extended 'Frontiers and Challenges' sections at theend of each chapter.
This text is suitable for all students taking courses in surfacescience in Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineeringand Materials Science, as well as for researchers and professionalsrequiring an up-to-date review of the subject.
