Some Surface Science books and www-links

  Here is a short list of some books on surface science. When you compare the contents of certain books to these notes, you will find striking similarities because I have stolen a lot of the material I liked.

• Surfaces and Interfaces of Solid Materials (Springer Study edition) by H. Lüth. An excellent book, mostly focused on the surfaces of semiconductors.
• Modern Techniques of Surface Science (Cambridge Solid State Science Series) by T. A. Delchar, and D. P. Woodruff.A very good book which is mainly concerned with technique (as the title indicates). If you work in the field this book is a ``must''.
• Physics at Surfaces (Cambridge Univ. Press) by A. Zangwill. This book is complementary to the first. It is more about theory and concepts than about technique. It is rather old but I think it is one of the best books one can buy.
• Oberflächenphysik des Festkörpers (Teubner) by Martin Henzler and Wolfgang Göpel. The book covers a broad range. In German and inexpensive.
• Concepts in Surface Physics (Springer Series in Surface Sciences) by M. C. Desjonqueres, D. Spanjaard. A modern and theory-focused book.

A lot of very interesting teaching material can be found on the www. A very good link site is this.
