The original Handbook of Surface and Interface Analysis: Methods
for Problem-Solving was based on the authors? firm belief that
characterization and analysis of surfaces should be conducted in
the context of problem solving and not be based on the capabilities
of any individual technique. Now, a decade later, trends in science
and technology appear to have validated their assertions.
Major instrumental assets are generally funded and maintained as
central facilities to help potential users make informed decisions
about their appropriate use in solving analytical problem(s).
Building on the popular first edition, this long-awaited second
edition was motivated by the increasingly common industry view that
it is more cost-effective to contract out analytical services than
to maintain in-house facilities. Guided by that trend, this book
focuses on developing strategic thinking for those who decide which
facilities to access and where to subcontract analytical work. It
covers most of the major tactical issues that are relevant at the
location in which data are being produced.
New Information in this Second Edition Includes:
- Electron-optical imaging techniques and associated analytical
methods
- Techniques based on synchrotron sources
- Convenient and versatile scanning probe group methods
- Scanning tunneling microscopy, biocompatible materials, and
nano-structured materials
Assessing benefits and limitations of different methodologies,
this volume provides the essential physical basis and common modes
of operation for groups of techniques. Exploring methods for
characterization and analysis of particular types of materials
and/or their relevant applications?the text synergizes traditional
and novel ideas to help readers develop a versatile and rational
approach to surface and interface analysis.
