Structure Of Rare-earth Metal Surfaces, The

The Structure of Rare-Earth Metal Surfaces introduces the concepts of surface crystallography & surface-structure determination, outlines the principles of the most widely used experimental techniques & theoretical simulations, & reviews their application to the surfaces of rare-earth metals. In particular, the results of quantitative low-energy electron-diffraction experiments & multiple-scattering calculations are covered in some depth. The book is aimed at science graduates with an interest in surface crystallography. Readership: Researchers in surface & intersurface science, crystallography, condensed matter physics & computational physics.
