Sommario/riassunto

Derived from the highly acclaimed series Materials Science and Technology, this book provides in-depth coverage of STM, AFM, and related non-contact nanoscale probes along with detailed applications, such as the manipulation of atoms and clusters on a nanometer scale. The methods are described in terms of the physics and the technology of the methods and many high-quality images demonstrate the power of these techniques in the investigation of surfaces and the processes which occur on them.Topics include:Semiconductor Surfaces and Interfaces * Insulators * Layered Compounds * Charg

Sommario/riassunto

Reading is a highly complex skill that is prerequisite to success in many societies in which a great deal of information is communicated in written form. Since the 1970s, much has been learned about the reading process from research by cognitive psychologists. This book summarizes that important work and puts it into a coherent framework.The book's central theme is how readers go about extracting information from the printed page and comprehending the text. Like its



predecessor, this thoroughly updated 2nd Edition encompasses all aspects of the psychology of reading with chapt
