Physics of Surface, Interface and Cluster Catalysis

Physics of Surface, Interface and Cluster Catalysis

Physics of Surface, Interface and Cluster Catalysis reviews the fundamental physics of catalysis from simple surface models through to complex cluster and catalytic structures. It is the first book to provide a coherent collection of the physics of catalysis, and shows how physics has provided and continues to provide clarity and insight into many complex catalysis problems, reviewing both recent developments and prospects for future developments in the field. Physics of Surface, Interface and Cluster Catalysis covers catalytic activity based on band structure, reaction dynamics at the surface and subsurface, reactions on magnetic and paramagnetic surfaces, electrocatalysis and kinetic monte-carlo frameworks, with contributions written by leading researchers from across the world.

Physics of Surfaces and Interfaces

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.
