This book emphasises both experimental and theoretical aspects of
surface, interface and thin-film physics. As in previous editions
the preparation of surfaces and thin films, their atomic and
morphological structure, their vibronic and electronic properties
as well as fundamentals of adsorption are treated. Because of their
importance in modern information technology and nanostructure
research, particular emphasis is paid to electronic surface and
interface states, semiconductor space charge layers and
heterostructures. A special chapter of the book is devoted to
collective phenomena at interfaces and in thin films such as
superconductivity and magnetism. The latter topic includes the
meanwhile important issues giant magnetoresistance and
spin-transfer torque mechanism, both effects being of high interest
in information technology. In this new edition, for the first time,
the effect of spin-orbit coupling on surface states is treated. In
this context the class of the recently detected topological
insulators, materials of significant importance for spin
electronics, are discussed. Particular emphasis, hereby, is laid on
the new type of topologically protected surface states with
well-defined spin orientation. Furthermore, some important well
established experimental techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD)
and reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS), which were missing so
far in earlier editions, were added in this new 6th edition of the
book.
