Introduction to Structureal Studies of Solid Surfaces on an aAtomic Scale

Abstract

The background of the recent developments in studies of surfaces is critically described. Next, the adsorption site and adsorption species for hydrogen adsorption on W (100) are discussed on the basis of experimental data, which have been obtained extensively by using various methods such as low energy electron diffraction, flash desorption, electron spectroscopy, work function measurements, and electron stimulated desorption.
