The Structure of Rare-Earth Metal Surfaces

An introduction to the concepts of surface crystallography and surface-structure determination. The book outlines the principles of the most widely used experimental techniques and theoretical simulations, and reviews their application to the surfaces of rare-earth metals. In particular, the results of quantitative low-energy electron-diffraction experiments and multiple-scattering calculations are covered in some depth. The book is aimed at science graduates with an interest in surface crystallography.
