Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Its Application (Springer Series in Surface Sciences, No 32)

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and its Application touches on the principles of STM and other related techniques, and their practical applications. It presents detailed STM instrumentation and the applications in metal and semiconductor surfaces, surface adsorbates and nano-fabrication. This title is particularly of practical use to the readers, as such detailed information is not available in published research papers. Besides a large amount of useful figures, it uses simple language to discuss problems in depth in order to let the readers understand and master basic conceptions of the subject. Deliberately designed as an ABC book for beginners, it provides enough information for professionals for an integrated understanding of STM and other related techniques.
