Produktbeschreibung

The clear and simple style makes the book to an introduction into the new microscopic world opened by scanning tunneling microscopy for a broader readership. A specific feature is also the experimentally based approach to epitaxial growth. The book is of specific use for students, PhD students and scientists, who want an introduction to the field or intend to become active in the field.
