Solid-State Photoemission and Related Methods

A timely and up-to-date handbook on solid-state photo emission and related methods. Written by experts in the field, it provides the background needed by both experimentalists and theorists. The work addresses the geometric and electronic structure of solid surfaces and interfaces, theoretical methods for direct computation of spectra, experimental techniques for data acquisition, and physical models for direct data interpretation. It thus treats new developments that have evolved with recent advances in theoretical analysis and resolution.

Dr. Michel A. Van Hove is a Staff Scientist in the Materials Sciences Division and the Advanced Light Source of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, USA, and an Adjunct Professor in the Physics Department of the University of California in Davis, California, USA. His research interests focus on the structural, chemical, electronic and magnetic properties of surfaces, interfaces, and related nano-structures. The emphasis is on modelling experimental techniques to extract such information from actual materials.

Professor Dr. Wolfgang Schattke teaches theoretical physics at the Institut fuer Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik der Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet zu Kiel. His research concerns solid state physics including its many-body aspects. It focuses on the electronic properties of bulk and surface systems using ab-initio methods to quantitatively calculate spectroscopic data that are directly available from measurement.
