Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and Thin Films

Hans-Joachim Freund

Eberhard Umbach

Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and ThinFilms introduces to a new and topical field of surfacescience for which rather little experience is available atpresent. It reviews the recent results of the employedanalytical methods comprising all modern surface techniquesincluding scanning tunneling microscopy and various kinds ofelectron spectroscopies. The present status of this new,clearly defined field of surface science is nearlycompletely overviewed by contributions from most of theresearch groups active in this field. The book is meant as abasis for the expected rapid development in this area withapplications in catalysis, thin-film and semiconductortechnology, sensors, electrochemistry, controlledpreparation of ultrathin epitaxial surfaces, and interfacesof insultors as well as future molecular electronics.
