"Adsorption on Ordered Surfaces of Ionic Solids and Thin Films" introduces a new and topical field of surface science on which relatively little experience is available at present. It reviews recent results of various analytical methods comprising all modern surface techniques including scanning tunnelling microscopy and a variety of electron spectroscopies. The present status of this new, clearly defined field of surface science is comprehensively reviewed by contributions from most of the research groups active in this field. The book will provide a useful basis for the expected rapid development in this area with applications in catalysis, thin-film and semiconductor technology, sensors, electrochemistry, controlled preparation of ultrathin epitaxial surfaces, and interfaces of insulators as well as future molecular electronics.
