Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A subject of keen scientific inquiry since the last century, surface physics emerged as an independent discipline only in the late 1960s as a result of the development of ultra-high vacuum technology and high speed digital computers. With these tools, reliable experimental measurements and theoretical calculations could at last be compared. Progress in the last decade has been truly striking. This volume provides a synthesis of the entire field of surface physics from the perspective of a modern condensed matter physicist with a healthy interest in chemical physics. The exposition intertwines experiment and theory whenever possible, although there is little detailed discussion of technique. This much-needed text will be invaluable to graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry and materials science working in, or taking graduate courses in, surface science.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 433-447) and index.

Part 1: Clean surfaces -- Thermodynamics -- Chemical analysis -- Crystal structure -- Electronic structure -- Phase transitions -- Elementary excitations -- Optical properties -- Part 2: Adsorption -- Physisorption -- Chemisorption -- Crystal structure -- Phase transitions -- Electronic structure -- Energy transfer -- Kinetics and dynamics -- Surface reactions -- Epitaxy.
