THE STRUCTURE OF RARE-EARTH METAL SURFACES
by S D Barrett (University of Liverpool, UK) & S S Dhesi (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, France)
The Structure of Rare-Earth Metal Surfaces introduces the concepts of surface crystallography and surface-structure determination, outlines the principles of the most widely used experimental techniques and theoretical simulations, and reviews their application to the surfaces of rare-earth metals. In particular, the results of quantitative low-energy electron-diffraction experiments and multiple-scattering calculations are covered in some depth. The book is aimed at science graduates with an interest in surface crystallography.
