Basic surfaces and their analysis
“God made solids, but surfaces were the work of the devil.” This statement by Nobel prize winner Wolfgang Paul emphasizes the diabolic nature of surfaces. Since surface properties deviate significantly from the bulk solid state, surface studies can be puzzling, misleading, and quite exciting! Thi...
