Critical Phenomena at Surfaces and Interfaces

This book deals with the application of grazing angle x-ray
and neutron      scattering to the study of surface-induced
critical phenomena. With the      advent of even more advanced
synchrotron radiation sources and new               sophisticated
instrumentation this novel technique is expected                     to
experience a boom.
The comprehensive and detailed presentation of      theoretical
and experimental aspects of the scattering of                           evanascent
x-ray and neutron waves inside a solid makes this                        book
particularly useful for tutorial courses.
Particular emphasis is   put on the use of this technique to
extract microscopic information            (correlation functions) from
the real structure of a surface, from buried   and magnetic
interfaces and from surface roughness.
