Concepts in Surface Physics [E-Book] / by M.-C. Desjonquères, D. Spanjaard.
This textbook is intended as an introduction to surface science for graduate students. It began as a course of lectures that we gave at the University of Paris (Orsay). Its main objectives are twofold: to provide the reader with a compre hensive presentation of the basic principles and concepts of...
