Crystallography and Surface Structure: An Introduction for Surface Scientists and Nanoscientists

Klaus Hermann

Description

A valuable learning tool as well as a reference, this book provides students and researchers in surface science and nanoscience with the theoretical crystallographic foundations, which are crystals, including ideal single crystal surfaces. The author deals with the subject at an introductory yet mathematically sound level, providing numerous graphic examples to keep the math in context. The book brings together and logically connects many seemingly disparate structural issues and notations used frequently by surface scientists and nanoscientists. Numerous exercises of varying difficulty, ranging from simple questions to small research projects, are included to stimulate discussion about the different subjects.

From the contents:

Introduction
Bulk Crystals, 3-dimensional Lattices
Crystal Layers, 2-dimensional Lattices
Ideal Single Crystal Surfaces
Real Crystal Surfaces
Adsorbate Layers
Experimental Analysis of Real Crystal Surfaces
Nanotubes
