Critical Phenomena at Surfaces and Interfaces

This volume treats the scattering of evanascent X-ray and neutron waves inside a solid. Particular emphasis is put on the use of this technique to extract microscopic information from the real structure of a surface, from buried and magnetic interfaces and from surface roughness.

Much progress has been made in the understanding of critical phenomena at surfaces and interfaces as a result of the novel experimental technique of grazing angle x-ray and neuron scattering, and theoretical concepts and predictions such as surface-induced order and disorder. This volume treats the scattering of evanascent x-ray and neutron waves inside a solid. Particular emphasis is put on the use of this technique to extract microscopic information from the real structure of a surface, from buried and magnetic interfaces and from surface roughness.
