Adsorbed species on surfaces & adsorbate -induced surface core level shifts, (Lan dolt-Börnstein : numerical data & functi onal relationships), gr.3 Vol. 42 + CD

Surface Science is understood as a relatively young scientific discipline, concerned with the physical and chemical properties of phenomena on clean and covered solid surfaces, studied under a variety of conditions. The adsorption of atoms and molecules on solid surfaces is, for example, such a condition, connected with more or less drastic changes of all surface properties. An adsorption event is frequently observed in nature and found to be of technical importance in many industrial processes. For this reason, Surface Science is interdisciplinary by its very nature, and as such an important intermediary between fundamental and applied research.

The volume 42 is devoted to Covered Solid Surfaces and, in particular, Subvolume A to Adsorbed Layers on Surfaces. It is as such a collection of data obtained for adsorbates on well-defined crystalline surfaces. "Well-defined" means surfaces of known crystallographic structure and chemical composition. The present subvolume III/42A4 deals with: Adsorption of C, N and O on metal surfaces, CO and N2 adsorption on metal surfaces, H2O and OH on semiconductors, Cyclic hydrocarbons, Polyatomic chain-like hydrocarbons on metals and semiconductors, Adsorbate induced surface core level shifts.

Standard reference book with selected and easily retrievable data from the fields of physics and chemistry collected by acknowledged international scientists
