Informationen zum Autor John C. Vickerman BSc in Chemistry (Edinburgh), Ph.D. in Surface Chemistry (Bristol), DSc (Bristol). Predoctoral fellowships at the Universities of Perugia and Rome, postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Bristol and the Technical University of Eindhoven. Sabbatical study periods at the University of Munich, the Free University of Berlin and Pennsylvania State University. Dr Ian Gilmore , Surface and Nano-Analysis, National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK Ian is a Principal Research Scientist in the Surface and Nano-Analysis Research team and joined NPL in 1991. His research has a focus on the analysis of complex molecules at surfaces. Recent research has led to the development of a novel new variant of static static SIMS called gentle-SIMS or G-SIMS, He received a degree in Physics from the University of Manchester in 1991 and a PhD from the University of Loughborough in 2000. Ian is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics a member of the EPSRC College and a member of the American Vacuum Society. Klappentext This completely updated and revised second edition of Surface Analysis: The Principal Techniques, deals with the characterisation and understanding of the outer layers of substrates, how they react, look and function which are all of interest to surface scientists. Within this comprehensive text, experts in each analysis area introduce the theory and practice of the principal techniques that have shown themselves to be effective in both basic research and in applied surface analysis.Examples of analysis are provided to facilitate the understanding of this topic and to show readers how they can overcome problems within this area of study.
