The structure of rare-earth metal surfaces

The structure of rare-earth metal surfaces / S.D. Barrett, S.S. Dhesi.

The Structure of Rare-Earth Metal Surfaces introduces the concepts of surface crystallography and surface-structure determination, outlines the principles of the most widely used experimental techniques and theoretical simulations, and reviews their application to the surfaces of rare-earth metals....
