Optics and Spectroscopy at Surfaces and Interfaces

Author: Vladimir G. Bordo
language: en
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
Release Date: 2008-07-11
This book covers linear and nonlinear optics as well as optical spectroscopy at solid surfaces and at interfaces between a solid and a liquid or gas. The authors give a concise introduction to the physics of surfaces and interfaces. They discuss in detail physical properties of solid surfaces and of their interfaces to liquids and gases and provide the theoretical background for understanding various optical techniques. The major part of the book is dedicated to a broad review on optical techniques and topical applications such as infrared and optical spectroscopy or optical microscopy. Discussions of nonlinear optics, but also nano-optics and local spectroscopy complement this self-contained work. Helpful features include about 50 problems with solutions, a glossary and a thoroughly elaborated list of topical references. The book is suited as a text for graduate students but also for scientists working in physics, chemistry, materials or life sciences who look for an expert introduction to surface optical aspects of their studies.
Surface and Interface Analysis

Comprehensive textbook covering characterization techniques to understand the chemistry and structure of materials on surfaces and at interfaces Surface and Interface Analysis is a comprehensive textbook resource that covers everything readers need to know about surface energy, molecular speciation, and optical and physical characterization techniques. Assuming only basic knowledge of general chemistry (electronic orbitals, organic functional groups), physics (electromagnetic waves, Maxwell equations), physical chemistry (Schrödinger equation, harmonic oscillator), and mathematics (wave equations, covariance matrix), this textbook helps readers understand the underlying principles of the discussed characterization techniques and enables them to transform theoretical knowledge into applied skills through a Maieutic pedagogical approach. Written by a highly qualified professor, Surface and Interface Analysis: Principles and Applications includes information on: Relationship between atomic and molecular orbitals and compositional analysis principles based on measurements of photoelectrons, Auger electrons, X-rays, and secondary ions emitted from the surface Governance of electromagnetic wave propagation in a dielectric medium and what can be learned from analyzing the electromagnetic wave reflected from the interface Surface metrology using light reflection (non-contact) and scanning probe (contact) and analysis of mechanical properties through indentation Artifacts and misinterpretations that may be encountered during analysis Surface and Interface Analysis is an ideal textbook resource on the subject for graduate students in the fields of solid state physics, optics, materials science, chemistry, and engineering who want to learn and apply advanced materials characterization methods, along with undergraduate students in advanced elective courses.
Physics of Surfaces and Interfaces

Author: Harald Ibach
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2006-11-18
This graduate-level textbook covers the major developments in surface sciences of recent decades, from experimental tricks and basic techniques to the latest experimental methods and theoretical understanding. It is unique in its attempt to treat the physics of surfaces, thin films and interfaces, surface chemistry, thermodynamics, statistical physics and the physics of the solid/electrolyte interface in an integral manner, rather than in separate compartments. It is designed as a handbook for the researcher as well as a study-text for graduate students. Written explanations are supported by 350 graphs and illustrations.
