The atomic arrangement and subsequent properties of a material are determined by the type and conditions of growth leading to epitaxy, making control of these conditions key to the fabrication of higher quality materials. This book reviews techniques involved in such processes a…

Authored by two internationally respected pioneers in the field, this book offers a fully integrated, pedagogically consistent presentation of the fundamental physics and chemistry of partially ionized, chemically reactive, low-pressure plasmas and their roles in a wide range of…
1. Crystal structures of insulating surfaces. 1.1. Halide surfaces. 1.2. Oxide surfaces -- 2. Preparation techniques of insulating surfaces. 2.1. Ultra high vacuum. 2.2. Preparation of bulk insulating surfaces. 2.3. Deposition of insulating films, metals and organic molecules --…
Ionic crystals are among the simplest structures in nature. They can be easily cleaved in air and in vacuum, and the resulting surfaces are atomically flat on areas hundreds of nanometers wide. With the development of scanning probe microscopy, these surfaces have become an idea…
