Experimental Innovations in Surface Science

This is a source book of "tricks of the trade" of surface science, containing descriptions (with at least one illustration for each) of hundreds of techniques, methods, instruments, and tools in common use in surface science--including physics, chemistry, and engineering. Covering all the basic methods of surface science (but omitting current areas of research such as the various scanning miscroscopies), the book serves as a useful reference to new and established researchers.

A definitive volume invaluable to surface scientists containing over 900 pages of richly illustrated descriptions of methods, instruments, and tools The methods are arranged in topical groupings for easy reference and described succinctly, with a clear sketch of the apparatus involved (and, in many cases, of the physical principles as well) Covers all the basic methods of surface science Serves not only as a useful reference to those beginning experimental research, but also as a manual for seasoned researchers
