Chemistry and Physics of Solid Surfaces VIII: (22 Springer Series in Surface Sciences)

The Series Chemistry and Physics of Solid Surfaces presents selected review articles predominantly from the area of gas/solid interfaces. It bridges the gap between conventional textbooks on surface science and the highly specialized research literature. Each volume contains extensive literature references and a detailed subject index.
