Autorentext

Winfried Mönch received a Dr.rer.nat. degree from the Georg-August-University of Göttingen in 1961. He spent three years in the Semiconductor Department of the AEG Research Institute Frankfurt-Main before moving to the RWTH Aachen University. There he was awarded the venia legendi for physics in 1968 and became an Associate Professor two years later. In 1974 he was appointed Professor at the University of Duisburg (since 2003 University of Duisburg-Essen) and retired in 1999. He was the first Walter Schottky Visiting Professor at Stanford University in 1981 and received the E.W. Müller Award 1984 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He has authored two monographs on semiconductor surfaces and interfaces, which have been published in the Springer Series in Surface Sciences.

Klappentext
Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces deals with structural and electronic properties of semiconductor surfaces and interfaces. The first part introduces the general aspects of space-charge layers, of clean-surface and adatom-induced surfaces states, and of interface states. It is followed by a presentation of experimental results on clean and adatom-covered surfaces which are explained in terms of simple physical and chemical concepts. Where available, results of more refined calculations are considered. This third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. In particular it now includes an extensive discussion of the band lineup at semiconductor interfaces. The unifying concept is the continuum of interface-induced gap states.
