This volume of the Handbook of Surface Science covers all aspects of thedynamics of surface processes. Two dozen world leading experts in this fieldaddress the subjects of energy exchange in gas atoms surface collisions therules governing dissociative adsorption on surfaces the formation ofnanostructures on surfaces by selfassembly and the study of surface phenomenausing ultrafast lasers. The chapters are written for both newcomers to thefield as well as researchers. Covers all aspects of the dynamics of surface processes Providesunderstanding of this unique field utilizing a multitude of accurateexperiments and advanced microscopic theory that allows quantumlevelcomparisons Presents the concepts and tools relevant beyond surface sciencefor catalysis nanotechnology biology medicine and materials «
