Editorial Reviews
D.A. King, D.P. Woodruff, Aslib Book Guide
December 1997 The fifteen chapters in this book, by different authors, provide a useful
overview of developments in this field...Each chapter discusses the growth,
structure, and properties of ultrathin films over a wide range of materials.
The book will be of interest to all those working in the field of surface
science.
Book Description
Hardbound. Although there has been steady progress in understanding aspects of epitaxial growth throughout the last 30 years of modern surface science, work in this area has intensified greatly in the last 5 years. A number of factors have contributed to this expansion. One has been the general trend in surface science to tackle problems of increasing complexity as confidence is gained in the methodology, so for example, the role of oxide/metal interfaces in determining the properties of many practical supported catalysts is now being explored in greater detail. A second factor is the recognition of the potential importance of artificial multilayer materials not only in semiconductor devices but also in metal/metal systems because of their novel magnetic properties. Perhaps even more important than either of these application areas, however, is the newly-discovered power of scanning probe microscopies, and most notably scanning tunneling microscopy (STM),
