Reviews

I believe the textbook will serve students well in their goal to gain a greater understanding of why nanoscaled systems are of great interest, how they are fabricated, and how they are characterized using a wide variety of analytical instrumentation very commonly found in university and industrial settings. --Marcus D. Lay, University of Georgia, Athens, USA The writing ! is very fluid. The problems and figures are good. Overall, I learned a great deal about surface science techniques from this manuscript. --Lisa Klein, Rutgers University, Piscataway, New Jersey, USA
