In particular, the results of quantitative low-energy electron-diffraction experiments and multiple-scattering calculations are covered in some depth. The book is aimed at science graduates with an interest in surface crystallography. <br><i>Contents:</i><ul><li>Introduction to the Rare EartRare earth metalsSurfacesCrystalsRare earth metalsSurfaces.Crystals.546/.41Barrett S.
