Physical Adsorption: Forces and Phenomena

by Milton W. Cole, Cole Zaremba Bruch, L.W. Bruch, et al.

Book Overview

Physical adsorption involves atomic or molecular films bound to surfaces by less than 0.5 eV per particle (10 kcal/mole). The subject has attracted wide interest because these films exhibit behavior characteristic of two-dimensional matter. The phase diagrams of these films are diverse and often rich in structure because of the competing energy and length scales of the two interactions involved in this problem: the mutual interaction between adsorbed...
