Synopsis

Designed for solid state physicists and chemists, applied physicists and surface chemists, this text covers nanoscale characterization of surfaces and interfaces. Derived from the series, "Materials Science and Technology", it provides coverage of STM, AFM and related non-contact nanoscale probes, along with details applications, such as the manipulation of atoms and clusters on a nanometer scale. The methods are described in terms of the physics and the technology of the techniques, and many high-quality images demonstrate the power of these methods in the investigation of surfaces and the processes which occur on them. Topics covered include: scanning tunnelling microscopy; atomic force microscopy; semiconductor surfaces and interfaces; superconductors; electrochemistry at liquid-solid interfaces; biological systems; metrological applications; nanotribology; and manipulation on the nanoscale.

About this title

From the Back Cover

N. John DiNardo Nanoscale Characterization of Surfaces and Interfaces Derived from the highly acclaimed series Materials Science and Technology, this book provides in–depth coverage of STM, AFM, and related non–contact nanoscale probes along with detailed applications, such as the manipulation of atoms and clusters on a nanometer scale. The techniques are described in terms of the physics and the technology of the methods and many high–quality images demonstrate the power of these techniques in the investigation of surfaces and the processes which occur on them. Topics include: STM · AFM · Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces · Insulators · Layered Compounds · Charge Density Wave Systems · Super–conductors · Electrochemisty at Liquid Solid Interfaces · Biological Systems · Metrological Applications · Nanoscale Surface Forces · Nanotribology · Manipulation on the Nanoscale Materials scientists, surface scientists, electrochemists, as well as scientists working in catalysis and microelectronics will find this book an invaluable source of information. Inclusion of introductory material makes the book suitable also for graduate students and newcomers to the field.
