When Kekulé awoke from dreams of snakes biting their own tails, he didn't have the benefit
of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) image to confirm that his vision of benzene as a …

This review describes advances in understanding the structural, electronic, and chemical
properties of clean low-index semiconductor surfaces during the first decade following the …

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 …

Atomic force microscopy is an amazing technique that allies a versatile methodology (that
allows measurement of samples in liquid, vacuum or air) to imaging with unprecedented …

Designed as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in engineering
and physical sciences who are seeking a general overview of surface science, this book …

Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces deals with structural and electronic properties of
semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. The first part introduces the general aspects of …
