Electronic Processes on Semiconductor Surfaces During Chemisorption

Booknews

A number of books and articles written by the late Wolkenstein alone or in collaboration with colleagues form the core of this book, which deals with the mechanism of the processes taking place on the semiconductor surface. The book is mainly theoretical; the review of experimental data serves only to illustrate the theory. The book begins with two introductory chapters, the first dealing with some problems of semiconductor physics and aimed at chemists unacquainted with this field, and the second containing information about the theory of adsorption and intended for semiconductor physicists not versed in the subject. Translated from the Russian edition of 1987 (Nauka, Moscow), and distributed by Plenum. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
