Structure and Evolution of Surfaces: Volume 440

This book brings together an interdisciplinary group of surface physicists, chemists and materials scientists to present the most current advances in the area of surface science. Both scientific and technological issues are addressed. Topics include: surface and step structure; morphology, roughness and instabilities; kinetic processes; nucleation on surfaces and interfaces; mechanics of surfaces; self-assembled and Langmuir-Blodgett films; thin-film surfaces and growth; chemistry and modification of surfaces and metal-semiconductor interfaces.
