9780198534761: Introduction to Surface Physics (Oxford Science Publications)

Synopsis

This textbook offers a brief and succinct introduction to the study of solid surfaces. It covers techniques used to obtain information about the chemical composition, the crystallography, and the properties of the top few atomic layers of a solid, together with some of the theory of solid surfaces. Case studies are included and particular emphasis is placed on approaches used in the study of the surface of silicon crystals to illustrate the application of relevant techniques to the electronic, vibrational, and adsorption properties of surfaces. The text is intended for use in final-year undergraduate and graduate classes in physics.

Review

the price has been kept within reach, and the book is an obvious addition to both library and personal collections ... The book is well written and produced, and I have a strong impression that the material will stand the test of time ... a hard act to follow. (Professor J.A. Venables, University of Sussex, Contemporary Physics, 1994, volume 35, number 4)

Synopsis

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 occur at surfaces. Selected case studies are presented with particular reference to the (lll) surface of elemental silicon to illustrate the application of relevant techniques to the electronic, vibrational, and adsoption properties of surfaces.
