Produktbeschreibung

Surface physics in the classical sense of ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) based - perimental approaches to understand well-de?ned surfaces has now become a mature branch of condensed matter research. Meanwhile, however, the th- retical concepts and experimental techniques developed in this ?eld have also become the basis for modern interface, thin ?lm and nanostructure science. Furthermore, these research ?elds are of fundamental importance for more applied branches of science, such as micro- and nanoelectronics, catalysis and corrosion research, surface protection, chemo- and biosensors, microsystems and nanostructured materials. The physics of solid surfaces, interfaces and thin ?lms is thus an important ?eld which needs to be taught to all students in physics, microelectronics, engineering and material science. It is thus no surprise that this topic has now entered the corresponding university curricula throughout the world. In the present 4th edition of this book (formerly entitled "Surfaces and - terfaces of Solid Materials") more emphasis is placed on the relation between the surfaces, interfaces and thin ?lms, and on newly discovered phenomena related to low dimensions. Accordingly, a few topics of the earlier editions that are now only of peripheral interest have been omitted. On the other hand, a new chapter dealing with collective phenomena at interfaces has been added: Superconductor-semiconductor interfaces and thin ferromagnetic ?lms have attracted considerable attention in of late. This is mainly due to our improved understanding of these phenomena, but also to important application aspects which have recently emerged.

Autorenporträt

Hans Lüth was born in Aachen, Germany, in 1940. He received the diploma in physics in 1965 and the doctoral degree (PhD) in physics in 1968, both from the Aachen University of Technology (RWTH). Between 1974 and 1986 he held several guest scientist and visiting professor positions at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Centre (USA), the Universities of Paris (F), Aix-Marseille (F) and Modena (I). Since 1980 he has been professor for physics and since 2000 simultaneously professor for electrical engineering at the RWTH Aachen. Additionally, in 1988 he became the director of the Institute of Bio- and Nanosystems at the Research Centre Jülich, Germany. In 2006 and 2007 he was Research Director for Key Technologies at the Research Centre Jülich. For his scientific work and for his globally used text books he was awarded the Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universite de Haute-Alsace, Mulhouse-Colmar (F). His research interests center around semiconductor interface physics and quantum electronics.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the fifth edition:
"This book, which is now in its fifth edition, is used as a text in many universities around the world. It offers clear coverage of both theoretical and experimental aspects of the treated subjects, making it almost unique in the area of surfaces and interfaces. ... The book also contains panels that review basic concepts and applications. ... book is a must-have for anybody studying solid-state physics. It is highly recommended for advanced students and researchers in the area of solid-state physics and nanotechnology." (Daniela Dragoman, Optics & Photonics News, March, 2011)
