About the author

Stephen J. Jenkins is Professor of Physical & Computational Surface Chemistry at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, where he conducts research into the physical and chemical properties of surfaces. He has worked in this field for thirty years, publishing over 150 papers on a variety of topics ranging from the dynamics of molecular adsorption, through the symmetry and asymmetry of adsorbed overlayers, to the origin of spin-polarised surface-localised electronic states. Over the past two decades, he has lectured and developed undergraduate courses both on general surface science and on the electronic structure of solid surfaces.
