SURFACE SCIENCE

Surface Science: Foundations of Catalysis and Nanoscience 2e was published in early 2008. This new edition will incorporate extensive worked solutions (approx 100 new pages) as well as details on how problem solving relevant to surface science should be performed. It is proposed by the author to contextualize the exercises and their solutions to further explicate the methods of problem solving, application of scientific principles and to deliver a deeper understanding of the field of surface science. Solutions will be accompanied by figures and/or graphs of data, as appropriate.    In addition new topics to be covered in this edition will include:   Second harmonic generation (SHG) / sum frequency generation (SFG) at interfaces. An expanded treatment (1-2) of micelles and bilayers. A feature of the second edition that was very well received is the Frontiers and Challenges section at the end of each chapter. Each of these sections will be reviewed and updated. All other chapters will also revisited and updated as appropriate.
