This work fills the gap for a comprehensive reference conveying the crucial modeling side of structure determination. Numerical recipes and model geometries allow readers to start using the techniques right away, while problem sets facilitate the book's use as supplementary reading in related courses.
Following an introduction, the text moves on to look at atomic clusters, surface reconstructions and surface-supported nanostructures, as well as nanowires. A final section of concluding remarks is rounded off by several appendices containing numerical recipes, codes, derivations, etc.
A must-have for researchers working in the field of nanoscience as well as surface science.
