Pioneers in the field and researchers met together at this Solvay Conference to discuss important new developments in surface science, with an emphasis on the common area between solid state physics and physical chemistry.Solvay Conference on Surface Science On each of these subjects an introductory review talk and a number of short research contributions are followed by extensive discussions, which appear in full in the text. The contributions deal with the following subjects: structure of surfaces, surface science and catalysis, two-dimensional physics and phase transitions, scanning tunneling microscopy, surface scattering and surface dynamics, chemical reactions at surfaces, solid-solid interfaces and superlattices, and surface studies with synchrotron radiation.

For fruitful discussions the authors are grateful to A. The description relies mainly on the simplified ligand-field theory, which, however, proves quite satisfactory for predicting the adsorptive and catalytic activity of species.

The collected articles, which stress particularly the gas-solid interface, have been published under the following titles: Surface Science: Recent Progress and Perspectives, Crit.Solid State Sci. I, II, and III (CRC Press Boca Raton, FL 1976, 1979, and 1982); Vols.

, where new results indicate that in the gas phase, photodissociation can precede or compete strongly with autoion­ ization and other electronic relaxation pathways.In general, the topics covered during the course of the workshop over­ lapped those of both DIET I and DIET II. However, clear advances have been made and in general there is a much more sophisticated understand­ ing of the physics and chemistry of stimulated desorption.

This book contains the proceedings of the first Workshop on Interface Phenomena, organized jointly by the surface science groups at Dalhousie University and the University of Maine. Kinetics of Interface Reactions Phenomenological approaches have been based on a small number of rate equations for the concentrations or mole numbers of the various species involved in a par­ ticular system with the relevant rate constants either fitted (in the form of the Arrheniusparametrization) to experimental data or calculated on the basis of microscopic models.

In 11 chapters, an examination is made of the fundamental physical concepts and their impact on recording mechanisms, with special emphasis on thin-film longitudinal, perpendicular, patterned and nanoparticle media. In this book, 17 experts in magnetic recording focus on the underlying physical mechanisms that play crucial roles in medium and transducer development for high areal density disk drives. The Physics of Ultra-High-Density Magnetic Recording.

Topics include surface diffusion, nucleation theory, island shapes, mound formation and coarsening, and layer-by-layer growth. Islands, Mounds and Atoms Because of the absence of misfit effects, homoepitaxy is an ideal playground to study growth kinetics in its pure form.

Each session (day) saw two principal speakers expounding the different views; the session chairmen were asked to summarize the ensuing discussions. To understand the complexity of interface reactions, paradigms must be formulated to provide a framework for the interpretation of experimen­ tal data and for the construction of theoretical models.

In contrast to those in STM I, these studies may be performed in air and in liquids. Together, the two volumes give a comprehensive account of experimental aspects of STM and provide essential reading and reference material.. Also discussed here is the use of a scanning proximal probe for surface modification.

. Surface potential studies on semiconductor materials, nanostructures and devices are described, as well as application to molecular and organic materials. This book presents an excellent introduction for the newcomer to this field, as much as a valuable resource for the expert.

This book gives a concise introduction into the method and describes various experimental techniques..Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy The current state of surface potential at the atomic scale is also considered. Surface potential studies on semiconductor materials, nanostructures and devices are described, as well as application to molecular and organic materials.

The editors would like to thank all the contributors who have supplied up­ dating material, and those who have provided us with suggestions for further improvements. Binnig, H.

. It is responsible for the corrosion behavior, for wear and friction of metallic materials, as well as for hydrogen embrittlement or poisoning of catalytic surface reactions.Oxidation impedes experiments in surface sciences and production processes in modern thin-film technology. Kinetics of Metal-Gas Interactions at Low Temperatures This few nm thick surface layer is produced instantaneously if oxygen or water vapor is present in the gas atmosphere.

Therefore, this book serves as a most useful guide for experimentalists as well as for theoreticians working in the field of local probe methods. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy III provides a unique introduction to the theoretical foundations of scanning tunneling microscopy and related scanning probe methods. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy III. The different theoretical concepts developed in the past are outlined, and the implications of the theoretical results for the interpretation of experimental data are discussed in detail.

Bridging "classical" and "nano" concepts, the present volume brings attention to the physical background of exotic condensed-matter properties. Nanophenomena at Surfaces.

A separate chapter is dedicated to describing the main experimental and theoretical methods. Crystal growth far from thermodynamic equilibrium is nothing but homoepitaxy - thin film growth on a crystalline substrate of the same material.

The conceptual simplicity of the STM technique is startling: bringing a sharp needle to within a few Angstroms of the surface of a conducting sample and using the tunneling cur­ rent, which flows on application of a bias voltage, to sense the atomic and elec­ tronic surface structure with atomic resolution!
