Summary

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.
