Scanning Tunneling Microscopy in Surface Science, Nanoscience, and Catalysis

Here, top international authors in the field of STM and surface science present first-class contributions on this hot topic, bringing the reader up to date with the latest developments in this rapidly advancing field. The focus is on the nanoscale, particularly in relation to catalysis, involving developments in our understanding of the nature of the surfaces of oxides and nanoparticulate materials, as well as adsorption, and includes in-situ studies of catalysis on such model materials. Of high interest to practitioners of surface science, nanoscience, STM and catalysis.

Michael Bowker is Professor of Surface Science at the University of Cardiff. His research interests are concentrated on scanning tunnelling microscopy, nanoparticles, catalysts used for environmental protection and the investigation of atomic-scale structures.
