The purpose of this review is to compare and discuss recent experimental and theoretical
results in the field of H 2 O-solid interactions. We emphasize studies of low (submonolayer) …

This fully revised, updated and reorganised third edition provides a thorough introduction to
the characterisation techniques used in surface science and nanoscience today. Each …

The desorption of surface-bound species induced by electronic excitation mechanisms is a
fascinating phenomenon of fundamental as well as technological importance. This article …

The role of step sites on metal surfaces in promoting chemical reactions is discussed
showing experimental data from the author's laboratory. The adsorption of CO on two …

Techniques for analyzing the structure and composition of solid surfaces with electron and
photon beams often cause radiation damage in samples. Damage-producing processes …

A survey is presented of the techniques and instruments used in studies of desorption
induced by electronic transitions (DIET) that can be stimulated by irradiating a solid surface …

Desorption induced by electronic transitions (DIET) encompasses electron-and photon-
stimulated desorption (ESD and PSD) of atoms, molecules and ions from surfaces. In this …

The adsorption of water on clean and oxygen covered Ag (110) in ultrahigh vacuum was
studied with thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), electron stimulated desorption ion …

The adsorption and thermal behavior of NO on 'flat'Pd (111) and 'stepped'Pd (112) surfaces
has been investigated by temperature programmed desorption (TPD), high resolution …

A combination of experimental methods has been employed for the study of Cl2 adsorption
and reaction on Si (100)–(2× 1). At 100 K, Cl2 adsorption occurs rapidly to a coverage of∼ …
