The Surface Science Society of Japan, which is only one surface science society in the world, was established in 1979. It has grown as a unique society that covers very interdisciplinary science and technology, and now about 1700 researchers from academia, national and public institute and industry come together to exchange their research.

Klappentext
This book concisely illustrates the techniques of major surface analysis and their applications to a few key examples. Surfaces play crucial roles in various interfacial processes, and their electronic/geometric structures rule the physical/chemical properties. In the last several decades, various techniques for surface analysis have been developed in conjunction with advances in optics, electronics, and quantum beams. This book provides a useful resource for a wide range of scientists and engineers from students to professionals in understanding the main points of each technique, such as principles, capabilities and requirements, at a glance. It is a contemporary encyclopedia for selecting the appropriate method depending on the reader's purpose.
