This text provides a comprehensive account of the phenomena that occur when simple gases interact with surfaces. It takes a fundamental perspective, focusing on monolayer physics and emphasizing atomic rather than molecular adsorption. Essential for research chemists, physicists, and engineers, as well as students. 1997 edition. Reprint of the Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1997 edition.
Material Concepts in Surface Reactivity and Catalysis by Henry Wise, Jacques Oudar Valuable text focuses on physical and chemical properties of surface in a reacting system. Topics include crystallite morphology, interface equilibria, adsorption and desorption kinetics, binding states and adsorbate structures, more.
Molecular Theory of Capillarity by J. S. Rowlinson, B. Widom History of surface phenomena offers critical and detailed examination and assessment of modern theories, focusing on statistical mechanics and application of results in mean-field approximation to model systems. 1989 edition.
