Abstract
In previous chapters we have considered two types of interfaces, the solid–vacuum and the solid–solid interfaces. This last chapter is devoted to problems of the solid–gas interface. Some of the questions related to this interface have already been touched on in connection with film growth and the deposition of atoms and molecules to yield a second solid phase and thus a new solid–solid interface. In the present chapter we consider the interaction between a solid surface and foreign atoms in a more fundamental way.
At this point one might ask why the solid–liquid interface is not treated within the framework of the present book. The main reason is a methodological one: Most of the extremely powerful experimental techniques used to study solid–vacuum and solid–solid interfaces in UHV cannot be applied to solid–liquid interfaces, except in extreme cases of monolayer coverage. These, however, are identical with the “adsorption” systems treated in this chapter. Nevertheless great progress has been made recently also in the understanding of solid–liquid interfaces due to the application of optical methods and the powerful scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques described in Panel VI: (Chap. 3).
