Surface science has existed as a recognized discipline for more
than 20 years. During this period, the subject has expanded in two
important ways. On the one hand, the techniques available for
studying surfaces, both experimental and theoretical, have grown in
number and in sophistication. On the other hand, surface science
has been applied to an increasing number of areas of technology,
such as catalysis, semicon ductor processing, new materials
development, corrosion prevention, adhesion and tribology. . There
is, however, no sharp division between fundamental and applied
surface science. New techniques can immediately be applied to
technologically important problems. Improvements in understanding
of fundamental phenomena such as epi taxial growth of one metal on
another, or the bonding of hydrocarbons to metal sur faces, to name
just two examples, have direct consequences for technology. Surface
science has also become very much an interdisciplinary subject;
physics, chemistry, materials science, chemical and electronical
engineering all draw upon and contribute to surface science. The
intimate relationship between principles and applications of
surface science forms the theme of this proceedings volume. The
contributions were all presented as invited lectures at an
Australian-German Workshop on Surface Science held at Coogee Beach,
Sydney, Australia, in December 1991. The contributors, all active
surface scientists in their respective countries, were asked to
highlight recent develop ments in their own areas of activity
involving new techniques, advances in funda mental understanding or
new applications in technology."
