Interface phenomena are most fascinating because of the mixing of different scales and the interference of diverse physical processes. This makes it necessary to use different levels of description: microscopic, kinetic, and gas-dynamical. A unified quasiclassical approach is used to answer practical questions dealing with inelastic gas-surface scattering, the kinetics of adsorption layers, the evolution of inhomogeneities and defects at the surface, the Knudsen layer, the development of boundar...
Landolt-Bvrnstein (Zahlenwerte Und Funktionen Aus Naturwissenschaft Und Technik, #7)
by W Pies, A Weiss, and Wolfgang Pies
Amorphous Semiconductors (Topics in Applied Physics, #36)
Le livre donne une histoire virtuellement exhaustive de la naissance et du developpement (jusqu'a C. 1925) de la theorie moleculaire avec sur toile de fond l'histoire de la theorie de la matiere en general et de l'atomisme en particulier. Etant base sur les sources memes (primaires et secondaires), il couvre toutes les sciences concernees (physique, chimie, biologie / medecine, cristallographie, mineralogie, mathematiques, philosophie). Ainsi, du fait de son interdisciplinarite soutenue, il offr...
1 The content ofthis article is based on a German book version ) which appeared at the end of the year 1986. The author tried to incorporate - as far as possible - new important results published in the last year. But the literature in the field of "convection and inhomogeneities in crystal growth from the melt" has increased so much in the meantime that the reader and the collegues should make allowance for any incompleteness, also in the case that their important contributions have not been ci...
Modellierung Dynamischer Prozesse in Der Hydrologie
by Ekkehard Holzbecher
Das Buch bietet in einem ersten Hauptteil eine Einfuhrung in Stroemungsvorgange in der gesattigten und ungesattigten Zone und deren analytische Beschreibung. Im Anschluss wird erlautert, wie man unterirdische Stroemungen auf dem Computer numerisch modellieren kann. In einem zweiten Hauptteil werden Prozesse der Stoff- und Warmeausbreitung behandelt. Dabei erfolgt eine analytische Beschreibung von Transport-, Sorptions-, Abbau- und Produktionsvorgangen sowie die darauf aufbauende Umsetzung in num...

Metal-Semiconductor Schottky Barrier Junctions and Their Applications
by B L Sharma
The present-day semiconductor technology would be inconceivable without extensive use of Schottky barrier junctions. In spite of an excellent book by Professor E.H. Rhoderick (1978) dealing with the basic principles of metal- semiconductor contacts and a few recent review articles, the need for a monograph on "Metal-Semiconductor Schottky Barrier Junctions and Their Applications" has long been felt by students, researchers, and technologists. It was in this context that the idea of publishing su...
Nonlinear Waves in Solid State Physics (NATO Science Series B, #247)
