Reviews / Votes

From the reviews of the fourth edition:".the author has introduced a novel and very useful pedagogical innovation in order to assist the reader.this volume will surely prove useful for many years and will also survice extensive use. As such it is highly recommended to the reader who wants an in-depth introduction to the physics of surface, interfaces, and thin films." "Very well-organized . Techniques are presented in detail, in fifteen self-contained panels . An excellent textbook and handbook."Physicalia"The purpose of this book . is to provide a unified text for use in surface physics courses. . the author has introduced a novel and very useful pedagogical innovation in order to assist the reader. Specifically, whereas the main text covers the fundamental physics, fifteen 'panels' have been introduced which cover specific topics. the publishers have produced a durable volume which is printed on acid-free paper, is well bound, nicely typeset and beautifully illustrated with line drawings and a few well reproduced photographs." (Gary J. Long and Fernande Grandjean, Physicalia, Vol. 38 (5), 2002)"The chapters of this book are devoted to phenomena on solid surfaces, thin films and interfaces. . the book may be useful to microelectronics and material engineers, to students, and to scientists who are working in the fields of material processes on interfaces." (Oleg A. Sinkevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 985, 2002)
