Understanding how molecules interact to form large-scale hierarchical structures on
surfaces holds promise for building designer nanoscale constructs with defined chemical …

An overview of the dynamics of one of the fundamental models of low-dimensional nonlinear
physics, the Frenkel–Kontorova (FK) model, is presented. In its simplest form, the FK model …

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical
physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A …

Theoretical physics deals with physical models. The main requirements for a good physical
model are simplicity and universality. Universal models which can be applied to describe a …

We report on long-range interactions between adsorbates on metal surfaces with a surface
state. A comparison of three adsorbate/substrate systems [Cu/Cu (111), Co/Cu (111), and …

Highly ordered monolayers of two perylene derivatives (perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic-
3, 4, 9, 10-dianhydride (PTCDA) and N, N′-dimethylperylene-3, 4, 9, 10-bis …

After nearly 30 years of research, investigations of surface diffusion and cluster nucleation
phenomena with the field ion microscope (FIM) continue to provide new insights into the …

The review surveys the conditions of formation and properties of four forms of surface carbon
on transition metals, to wit, adsorbed atoms and clusters, surface carbide and graphite, and …

A review of the major contributions from modern surface science to the understanding of the
chemistry of heterogeneous catalysis is provided. A number of basic concepts, including the …
