Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and Thin Films

Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and Thin
Films introduces to a new and topical field of surface
science for which rather little               experience is available at
present. It reviews the recent results of the      employed
analytical methods comprising all modern surface                           techniques
including scanning tunneling microscopy and various kinds            of
electron spectroscopies. The present status of this new,
clearly      defined field of surface science is nearly
completely overviewed by            contributions from most of the
research groups active in this field. The      book is meant as a
basis for the expected rapid development in this area      with
applications in catalysis, thin-film and semiconductor
technology, sensors, electrochemistry, controlled
preparation of ultrathin epitaxial      surfaces, and interfaces
of insultors as well as future molecular               electronics.
