Short description
This text provides students and researchers with a complete view of reactions at solid surfaces, how chemistry works at surfaces, and how to understand and probe the dynamics of surface reactions. It provides an authoritative self-contained introduction to surface reactions by a leader in the field of surface science. With a broad view of surface reactivity, the author draws on his thirty years of expertise to include examples from various systems, comparing traditional surface probes with more modern probes, and bringing together the disciplines in a cohesive manner.
