Surface Science and Synchrotron Radiation (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book aims to explain and illustrate the advantages that synchrotron radiation can offer in terms of new or improved techniques to understand the atomic-scale properties of surfaces. Modern surface science relies on the application of a range of complementary techniques that are available in the home laboratories of established researchers. Synchrotron radiation experiments must necessarily be performed at central facilities geographically separated from home laboratories, so for a researcher to make the extra effort to perform synchrotron radiation studies needs to be justified by the scientific advantages.

The book explains these advantages, including the possibility of obtaining important new information, in several cases exploiting methods for which there is no equivalent non-synchrotron radiation method. The book provides an introduction to the properties and underlying physics of synchrotron radiation and its practical exploitation, and describes the range of improved and entirely new techniques relevant to surface science, including recent examples of their exploitation.

Autorenporträt

David Phillip Woodruff is an Emeritus Professor and leader of the Surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Films group in the Condensed Matter Physics department at the University of Warwick. He has been a full professor of physics at Warwick since 1987. Previously he was a lecturer and then senior lecturer since 1969. He has also undertaken multiple visiting professorial positions at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society between 1989-2011. Professor Woodruff has authored more than 520 published papers in archival refereed journals, and 2 books published by Cambridge University Press (3 editions of the second of these). A third book was recently published with CUP. He is a fellow of the Institute of Physics, and the Woodruff Thesis prize is named in his honour. He has been the winner of several prizes including the Nevill Mott Medal and Prize and the Max Born Medal and Prize. He was the president of International Union for Vacuum Science, Techniques and Applications from 1998-2001.
