Surface and Subsurface Physical and Chemical Characterization of Materials at the Nanoscale

Abstract The discontinuity in the atomic fabric of materials that defines the transition into a new medium gives rise to intriguing properties. Examples include the electronic tunneling behavior in scanning tunneling microscope or gigantic enhancement in the Raman emission from molecules near the su...
