Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and Thin
Films introduces to a new and topical field of surface
science for which rather little experience is available at
present. It reviews the recent results of the employed
analytical methods comprising all modern surface techniques
including scanning tunneling microscopy and various kinds of
electron spectroscopies. The present status of this new,
clearly defined field of surface science is nearly
completely overviewed by contributions from most of the
research groups active in this field. The book is meant as a
basis for the expected rapid development in this area with
applications in catalysis, thin-film and semiconductor
technology, sensors, electrochemistry, controlled
preparation of ultrathin epitaxial surfaces, and interfaces
of insultors as well as future molecular electronics.
