Reihe: Advances in Chemical Physics

The study of surfaces has experienced dramatic growth over the pastdecade. Now, the editors of the internationally celebrated seriesAdvances in Chemical Physics have brought together in thisself-contained, special topic volume contributions from leadingresearchers in the field treating some of the most crucial aspectsof the experimental and theoretical study of surfaces. This workdelves into such core issues as:
* Kinetics and dynamics of hydrogen adsorption on siliconsurfaces.
* Potential energy surfaces of transition- metal-catalyzed chemicalreactions.
* High-resolution helium atom scattering as a proof of surfacevibrations.
* Ordering and phase transitions in adsorbed monolayers of diatomicmolecules.
* The influence of dimensionality on static and dynamic propertiesof a system.
* New applications to fields as varied as catalysts and the passageof molecules through membranes.
This valuable resource provides important insights into the currentstate of knowledge about surface properties. Prigogine and Rice'slatest work will stimulate the imagination and motivate theexploration of other aspects of this fascinating subject.
