In Surface Analysis experts in each analysis area introduce the theory and practice of the principal techniques that have shown themselves to be effective in both basic research and in applied surface analysis. This book brings the reader to a level of knowledge where they can understand data generated by eachtechnique and see how it relates to the problems they wish to tackle. The coverage will be thorough without being too detailed. Examples of analysis are provided in each case, and review questions at the close of chapters will help the reader reinforce what has been learnt. INDICE: Provisional Contents: 1. Introduction Why Surface Analysis? (What is the surface, what is the information required, what is meant by surface sensitivity, does analysis affect the result we see, what are the techniques we use and why); 2. Auger Electron Spectroscopy (Revision and modernising of present chapter incorporating recent developments in nano-SAM. A section is required on quantification); 3. Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (Revisionof present chapter with a section on quantification); 4. Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry the surface mass spectrometry (Updating of present chapter to include the new developments in organic and biological analysis); 5. Secondary IonMass Spectrometry elemental analysis with high sensitivity and depth resolution. (A new chapter covering the area of dynamic SIMS, depth profiling and highsensitivity elemental analysis); 6. Low-energy ion scattering and Ruther fordbackscattering (Revision of present chapter perhaps including medium energy ion scattering); 7. Vibrational Spectroscopy (Revision of present chapter, possibly including accounts on SNOM methods); 8. Surface Structure Determination by Interference Techniques (Revision and update is required); 9. Scanning ProbeTechniques (A revision to include the many new developments in this field); 10. The application of Multivariate data analysis techniques in Surface Analysis (A new chapter to introduce the application of the methods of multivariate analysis to surface analysis data, highlighting the issues that need to be considered to ensure that the outcomes are robust and reliable); 11. Surface Analysis - Applications and developments in biotechnology (A new chapter to illustrate how a number of surface analysis techniques are bought together to solve problems in biology); 12. Surface Analysis - Applications and developments in nanotechnology (A new chapter to illustrate how a number of surface analysis techniques are bought together to solve problems in biology); Appendices - 1. Vacuum Technologies use present chapter 2 as is with some small changes; 2. Useful data.
