Spectroscopy for Surface Science

Surface analysis deals with characterizing and understanding the behavior of molecules which react on the surface between two substances. The latest self-contained volume in this long established and respected series of review articles on applications and instrumental developments in spectroscopy presents a high quality treatment of the frontiers of research occurring in modern spectroscopic methods. The internationally renowned authors have taken care to make their work accessible to experts and non-experts alike.

R. J. H. Clark is the editor of Spectroscopy for Surface Science, published by Wiley. R. E. Hester is the editor of Spectroscopy for Surface Science, published by Wiley.
