The pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model has become among the most popular ways
to fit rate data for adsorption of metal ions, dyes, and other compounds from aqueous …

Theoretical aspects and evolution of surface diffusion studies are discussed with an
emphasis on non-metallic adsorbates at metal surfaces. A survey of the existing literature is …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

A practical, in-depth description of the physics behind electron emission physics and its
usage in science and technology Electron emission is both a fundamental phenomenon and …

We review in this article the current theoretical understanding of collective and single
particle diffusion on surfaces and how it relates to the existing experimental data. We begin …

We model friction acting on the tip of an atomic force microscope as it is dragged across a
surface at nonzero temperatures. We find that stick-slip motion occurs and that the average …

Geometry growth laws for morphological change are developed and examined for the class
of dynamic problems where surface diffusion is the only transport mechanism and hence …

The Kramers problem in periodic potentials is solved separating the intrawell and interwell
dynamics. Both the jump rate and the probability distribution of the jump lengths are …

In this review we give a detailed description of the recently developed helium-3 spin-echo
technique and its application to several classes of surface dynamic measurements. We …

The field of friction is usually associated with its obvious practical importance. This tends to
emphasize the engineering aspects of friction and thereby hides the fact that there is a …
