* At the present stage of development of surface science, there has
seemed to be a need for a book-length review spanning the
disciplines of surface physics and surface chemistry-a review to
summarize and show the con nection between the observations from
each discipline. The various results and theories, derived on the
one hand from studies of the physical, electronic, and optical
properties of surfaces and on the other hand from studies of the
chemical activity of surfaces, supplement each other in the search
for a realistic model of the surface. The improved understanding
possible with such an interdisciplinary approach has been confirmed
by recent develop ments which cannot be classified as either
surface chemistry or surface physics. Specifically, recent new
experimental techniques and quantum mechanical models have provided
a much more accurate picture of the nature of the electronic energy
levels (bonding orbitals) present at a solid surface. With this
more accurate picture we are now able to reconcile the various
chemical and physical models that appeared in the early literature
on surfaces. The objective of this work has therefore been to
describe the results and current models of surface science spanning
a broad gray area between surface physics and surface chemistry
with some overlap into each of these disciplines. Relevant aspects
of surface chemistry are discussed; we cover chemical interactions
where bonding and electronic properties dominate, but stop short of
specialized topics such as surfactants or liquid/liquid
interfaces."
