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.
Contents:
- Introduction to the Rare Earths
- The Basics of Surface Structure
-
Surface Structure Techniques
- Crystal Growth and Surface Preparation
- Rare-Earth Surface Science
- Quantitative Low-Energy Electron Diffraction
- Quantitative LEED Results
- Summary — Past, Present and Future
Readership: Researchers in surface and interface science, crystallography,
condensed matter physics and computational physics.
"The first chapter provides an excellent overview to the rare-earths ... The book is aimed at graduate students with an interest in crystallography, but has minimized the rigorous mathematical treatment favored by physicists."
