The fourth edition of "Solid Surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Films"
has been used meanwhile as a standard textbook around the world at
many universities and research institutions. Even though surface
and interface physics have become a mature science branch, their
theoretical concepts and experimental techniques are of higher
importance than ever before because of their impact on
nanostructure physics. Surface and interface physics form the basis
for modern nanoscience, be it in quantum electronics, in catalysis,
in corrosion, or in lubrication research. This explains the
ever-growing demand for education in these elds. It was therefore
time to carefully revise the book and bring it up to latest dev-
opments both in fundamental research and in application. Concerning
new ma- rial aspects topics about group III nitride surfaces and
high k-oxide/semiconductor heterostructures have been included.
Recent developments in these material classes are of essential
importance for high-speed/high-power electronics and advanced -
based CMOS technology on the nanometer scale. The novel eld of spin
electronics or spintronics having been initiated by the detection
of the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) by Peter Grunberg and Albert
Fert (Nobel Prize 2007) required a more extensive consideration of
anisotropy effects in thin magnetic lms. For the devel- ment of
purely electrical spin switching devices based on spin effects
rather than on semiconductor space charge layers, a prerequisite
for high-speed, low-power sp- tronics, the spin-transfer torque
mechanism shows some promise. Correspondingly this topic is
discussed in direct connection with the GMR in this new edition.
