    About this ebook

    Surface Physics of Materials presents accounts of the physical properties of solid surfaces. The book contains selected articles that deal with research emphasizing surface properties rather than experimental techniques in the field of surface physics. Topics discussed include transport of matter at surfaces; interaction of atoms and molecules with surfaces; chemical analysis of surfaces; and adhesion and friction. Research workers, teachers and graduate students in surface physics, and materials scientist will find the book highly useful.

      Clear Evidence Points to Majorana Fermions

      Jul 31, 2017

      After an 80-year quest, researchers have discovered evidence of particles that are their own antiparticles. These “Majorana fermions” could one day help make quantum computers more robust. In 1928, physicist Paul Dirac made the stunning prediction th
