FROM THE REVIEWS:
AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND PHYSICIST
„…provides a good base for students and academics wishing to interpret experimental papers which are not in their particular field of expertise. This book will certainly be well used by our research group and would be a useful addition to any physics library.”
PHYSICALIA
“The book is very well organized, presenting for all subjects, a short and accessible theoretical introduction together with the description of the relevant experimental techniques. These techniques are presented in detail, in fifteen self-contained ‘panels’ or separate sections easy to localize for later reference…This book shall be highly appreciated by every physicist working in the field of solid surfaces and interfaces. It shall provide the student and the teacher with an excellent textbook and the research scientist with a very useful handbook.”
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMISTRY SOCIETY
"While this text is mainly intended for physics students, students of physical chemistry will find it precious for its pedagogical descriptions of many experimental techniques which also play important roles in surface chemistry.”
Surfaces and Interfaces of Solids
von Hans Lüthexperimental and theoretical aspects of surface and
interface physics. Beside the techniques of preparing
well-defined solid surfaces and interfaces basic models for
the description of structural, vibronic and electronic
properties ofinterfaces are described, as well as
fundamental aspects of adsorption and layer growth. Because
of its importance for modern microelectronics special
emphasis is placed on the electronic properties of
semiconductorinterfaces and heterostructures. Experimental
topics covering the basics of ultrahigh-vacuum technology,
electron optics, surface spectroscopies and electrical
interface characterization techniques are presented in the
form of separate panels.
