Chemical Physics of Solid Surfaces Oxide Surfaces

The book is a multi-author survey (in 15 chapters) of the current state of knowledge and recent developments in our understanding of oxide surfaces. The author list includes most of the acknowledged world experts in this field. The material covered includes fundamental theory and experimental studies of the geometrical, vibrational and electronic structure of such surfaces, but with a special emphasis on the chemical properties and associated reactivity. The main focus is on metal oxides but coverage extends from 'simple' rocksalt materials such as MgO through to complex transition metal oxides with different valencies.King, D. A. is the author of 'Chemical Physics of Solid Surfaces Oxide Surfaces' with ISBN 9780444507457 and ISBN 0444507450.
