Contemporary aspects of corrosion science are reviewed to show how insightful a surface
science approach is to understand the mechanisms of corrosion initiation at the atomic and …

Significant progress has been made both in experimentation and in theoretical modeling of
scanning probe microscopy. The theoretical models used to analyze and interpret …

This book explains the operating principles of atomic force microscopy and scanning
tunneling microscopy. The aim of this book is to enable the reader to operate a scanning …

Magnetic skyrmions were thought to be stabilised only in inversion-symmetry breaking
structures, but skyrmion lattices were recently discovered in inversion symmetric Gd-based …

Carbon nanotubes can be thought of as graphitic sheets with a hexagonal lattice that have
been wrapped up into a seamless cylinder. Since their discovery in 1991, the peculiar …

The scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) was invented by Binnig and Rohrer and
received a Nobel Prize of Physics in 1986. Together with the atomic force microscope (AFM) …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

Logic gates were fabricated from an array of configurable switches, each consisting of a
monolayer of redox-active rotaxanes sandwiched between metal electrodes. The switches …

Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we have observed the formation of
standing waves by the scattering of surface state electrons at steps and defects on the Au …

We report in situ scanning tunneling microscopy studies of graphene growth on Pd (111)
during ethylene deposition at temperatures between 723 and 1023 K. We observe the …
