Having discussed the basic concepts and experimental methods of surface science in Volume 1, and made clear the peculiarities of surfaces with examples of elementary solids in volume 2, the present volume 3 moves one step forward in complexity and describes the surface properties of composite surfaces, like alloys, oxides, glasses, ice etc.
In volume 4 surfaces serve as substrates for the deposition of materials. Emphasis is placed on the growth and the properties of ultrathin metallic, oxidic and organic films, graphene as well as nano-clusters on them.
Covering interface science from a novel surface science perspective, this eight-volume handbook offers a comprehensive overview of both these and numerous other topics.
The initial chapters treat basic fundamentals on such topics as vacuum technology, while general chapters -- where appropriate -- describe theoretical methods and provide models to help explain the respective phenomena, such as band structure calculations, chemisorption and segregation. Additionally, short references to more specialized methodology accompany the descriptions of the most important techniques.
Ideal as a reference for scientists in the field, as well as an introduction to current methods for newcomers.
