Surface Physics

Author: A. Zangwill
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2006-05-01
Features: This book is an excellent graduate-level textbook on solid surface physics. Professor Zangwill has been engaged in theoretical research on surface physics, statistical mechanics, and nanostructures, with numerous publications in professional journals such as Nature and PRL. However, the author considers this not a typical textbook but more like a travel guide—it aims to lead readers into the field of surface physics, which is yet to be perfected, thus full of challenges, opportunities, and unresolved issues. The book has 454 pages, covering a wide range of topics with a fluent writing style, balancing fundamental knowledge with analysis of cutting-edge issues, making it highly valuable as a reference. Since its first publication in 1988, the book has been widely welcomed by readers and has been reprinted five times. It is suitable for professional researchers, senior undergraduates, and graduate students in fields such as surface physics, surface chemistry, thin film growth, and materials science.
