Overview
- Covers the major developments in surfaces sciences of the last decades, from experimental tricks and basic techniques to the latest developments in experimental methods and theoretical understanding.
- Uniquely integrates the physics of surfaces, thin films and interfaces, surface chemistry, thermodynamics, statistical physics and the physics of the solid/electrolyte interfaces in an integral approach
- Provides both a reference book for the researcher as well as a study-text for graduate students in physics or chemistry with special interest in the surface sciences, material science, or the nanosciences.
- Offers many insights and hints that have grown out of the authors’ decades-long experience. Readers may likewise appreciate the large variety of different topics treated, and covered with extended references.
- Graduate students may benefit from the elementary introductions to the experimental techniques and to the theory behind the techniques and the phenomena.
- Stresses physical concepts to keep the mathematical notation to a minimum, and 350 graphs and illustrations support the textual content.
