From the back cover:
Surface Chemistry is an essential and developing area of physical
chemistry and one
that has become increasingly multidisciplinary. Surface Science:
Foundations of Catalysis and Nanoscience offers a comprehensive,
modern introduction to the subject, taking a truly pedagogical
approach.
This text will provide the reader with a well-rounded understanding,
not only of how chemistry works at surfaces, but also how to understand
and probe the dynamics of surface reactions.
Starting with an examination of the importance
of heterogeneous reactions, it lays the foundations for an
understanding of chemical reactions at surfaces through a detailed
treatment of surface electronic and geometric structure. Reactivity on
and with surfaces is clearly explained. Fundamental principles such as
adsorption, desorption and reactions between adsorbates are examined,
with extensive coverage of developments in the growth of epitaxial, and
Langmuir-Blodgett films, as well as treatment of the etching of
surfaces.
» Features a modern molecular view of
surfaces combined with a careful pedagogic approach to chemical
reaction dynamics
» Introduces both theoretical and experimental techniques
including a detailed explanation of growth and etching.
» Includes numerous examples of the relevance of surface
chemistry to industrial processes combined with end
of chapter problems and an extensive bibliography.
Suitable for all students taking courses in surface chemistry in
departments of chemistry, physics, chemical engineering and material
science, as well as researchers and professionals needing an up to date
review of the subject.
