Surface Chemistry is an essential and developing area of physical chemistry and one that has become increasingly multidisciplinary. Surface Science offers a comprehensive, modern introduction to the subject, taking a truly pedagogical approach.

Surface Science 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, Surface Science 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.

Surface Science:

• 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.
