Summary
Summary
This is an in-depth monograph covering the topic of energy transfer and reactions on solid surfaces. This topic is of great interest now because of its applications to catalysis and solid-state electronics, including the manufacture of semiconductors, integrated circuits and other solid state devices. Initially it describes what is meant by heterogenous reaction dynamics. Basically, this is the study, on a molecular level, of the elementary dynamics of energy transfer and reactions at surface. The emphasis of the book will be on well characterized solid surfaces. Energy transfer and reactions are broadly defined to include phase transitions in adsorbed layers, diffusion, the absorption process itself, and energy transfer between adsorbate and subtrate, as well as gas-surface energy transfer, catalytic and oxidative type surface reactions.

Choice Review
Bernasek provides a brief summary of the experimental techniques and theory used in studying the interactions at the gas-solid interface. These include both the nonreactive processes ("physical" processes such as energy transfer, nonreactive adsorption, and diffusion) and the reactive events characteristic of surface catalysis. Selected illustrative examples from the literature are discussed; sufficient references are included to provide entry to a more general literature. The book is clearly written and recommended as an introduction to the subject, although at an advanced level for undergraduates; it is not simply an encyclopedic review of current literature. The contents are best summarized by the eight principal chapter headings: "Surface Characterization Methods"; "Inelastic Scattering and Energy Transfer"; "Adsorption, Epitaxial Growth, and Adsorbate Interactions"; "Surface Diffusion"; "Dynamics of Dissociative Adsorption"; "Atom Recombination Dynamics"; "Catalytic Oxidation"; and "Small Molecule Decomposition Processes." Upper-division undergraduate; graduate. J. P. Chesick; Haverford College
