• Sommario/riassunto: <i>The Structure of Rare-Earth Metal Surfaces</i> introduces the concepts of surface crystallography and surface-structure determination, outlines the principles of the most widely used experimental techniques and theoretical simulations, and reviews their application to the surfaces of rare-earth metals. 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 Eart
