Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. An investigation into optical techniques for extracting surface and interface information with a resolution of less than a single atomic layer. These techniques have been widely applied to semiconductor surfaces and interfaces, and include polarised reflection techniques such as reflection anisotropy spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry, Raman scattering, and optical second harmonic and sum frequency generation. Epitoptics' potential in the area of growth monitoring, and in situ monitoring of semiconductor growth with submonolayer sensitivity has been demonstrated in growth reactors under normal operating conditions. The book emphasizes studies of submonolayer growth on semiconductor surfaces. Chapters include: Spectroscopic Ellipsometry Reflection Difference Techniques Raman Spectroscopy Photoluminescence Spectroscopy On the Theory of Second Harmonic Generation Second Harmonic and Sum Frequency Generation Conclusions Hardback, pp230.…

Hardback. Condition: Fair. In 1998 Thomas Hales dramatically announced the solution of a problem that has long teased eminent mathematicians: what is the densest possible arrangement of identical spheres? The Pursuit of Perfect Packing recounts the story of this problem and many others that have to do with packing things together. The examples are taken from mathematics, physics, biology, and engineering, including the arrangement of soap bubbles in foam, atoms in a crystal, the architecture of the bee's honeycomb, and the structure of the Giant's Causeway. Using an informal style and with key references, the book also includes brief accounts of the lives of many of the scientists who devoted themselves to problems of packing over many centuries, together with wry comments on their efforts. It is an entertaining introduction to the field for both specialists and the more general public.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The study of condensed matter using optical techniques, where photons act as both probe and signal, has a long history. It is only recently, however, that the extraction of surface and interface information, with submonolayer resolution, has been shown to be possible using optical techniques (where 'optical' applies to electromagnetic radiation in and around the visible region of the spectrum). This book describes these 'epioptic' techniques, which have now been quite widely applied to semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. Particular emphasis in the book is placed on recent studies of submonolayer growth on well-characterised semiconductor surfaces, many of which have arisen from CEC DGJGII ESPRIT Basic Research Action No. 3177 'EPIOPTIC', and CEU DGIII ESPRIT Basic Research Action No. 6878 'EASI'. Techniques using other areas of the spectrum such as the infra-red region (IR spectroscopy, in its various surface configurations), and the x-ray region (surface x-ray diffraction, x-ray standing wave), are omitted. The optical techniques described use simple lamp or small laser sources and are thus, in principle, easily accessible. Epioptic probes can provide new information on solid-gas, solid-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. They are particularly suited to growth monitoring. Emerging process technologies for fabricating submicron and nanoscale semiconductor devices and novel multilayer materials, whether based on silicon or compound semiconductors, all require extremely precise control of growth at surfaces. In situ, non-destructive, real-time monitoring and characterisation of surfaces under growth conditions is needed for further progress. Both atomic scale resolution, and non-destructive characterisation of buried structures, are required.…
