This study emphasizes both experimental and theoretical aspects of surface and interface physics. Beside the techniques of preparing well-defined solid surfaces and interfaces, basic models for the description of structural, vibronic and electronic properties of interfaces are described, as well as fundamental aspects of adsorption and layer growth. Because of its importance for modern microelectronics, special emphasis is placed on the electronic properties of semiconductor interfaces and heterostructures. Experimental topics covering the basics of ultrahigh-vacuum technology, electron optics, surface spectroscopies and electrical interface characterization techniques are presented in the form of separate panels.

Review

FROM THE REVIEWS: AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND PHYSICIST" provides a good base for students and academics wishing to interpret experimental papers which are not in their particular field of expertise. This book will certainly be well used by our research group and would be a useful addition to any physics library. PHYSICALIA"The book is very well organized, presenting for all subjects, a short and accessible theoretical introduction together with the description of the relevant experimental techniques. These techniques are presented in detail, in fifteen self-contained panels or separate sections easy to localize for later reference This book shall be highly appreciated by every physicist working in the field of solid surfaces and interfaces. It shall provide the student and the teacher with an excellent textbook and the research scientist with a very useful handbook. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMISTRY SOCIETY"While this text is mainly intended for physics students, students of physical che

From the Back Cover

This book emphasises both experimental and theoretical aspects of surface, interface and thin film physics. Compa- red to the earlier editions, which bore the title "Surfaces and Interfaces of Solid Materials", the book now places more emphasis on thin films, including also their superconducting and ferromagnetic properties. The present 4th edition thus presents techniques of preparing well-defined solid surfaces and interfaces, fundamental aspects of adsorption and layer growth, as well as basic models for the descripti- on of structural, vibronic and electronic properties of sur- faces, interfaces and thin films. Because of their importan- ce for modern information technology, significant attention is paid to the electronic properties of semiconductor inter- faces and heterostructures. Collective phenomena , such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism, also feature promi- nently. Experimental sections covering essential measurement and preparation techniques are presented in separate panels.
