Surfaces and Interfaces of Solids [PDF ebook] 

"Surfaces and Interfaces of Solids" emphasizes bothexperimental and theoretical aspects of surface andinterface physics. Beside the techniques of preparingwell-defined solid surfaces and interfaces basic models forthe description of structural, vibronic and electronicproperties ofinterfaces are described, as well asfundamental aspects of adsorption and layer growth. Becauseof its importance for modern microelectronics specialemphasis is placed on the electronic properties ofsemiconductorinterfaces and heterostructures. Experimentaltopics covering the basics of ultrahigh-vacuum technology, electron optics, surface spectroscopies and electricalinterface characterization techniques are presented in theform of separate panels.
