Surface and Thin Film Analysis (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783527320479)

Gernot Friedbacher is Associate Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the Vienna University of Technology. His research activities are focused on investigation of surfaces and surface processes with scanning probe microscopy and electron probe x-ray microanalysis covering a broad field of applications ranging from basic research on thin film systems to materials science. Over the last decades he has held numerous theoretical and practical courses in the field of analytical chemistry with emphasis on intstrumental analysis and surface- and interface analysis. Prof. Friedbacher has published over 120 research articles, reviews, and book chapters.

Henning Bubert worked at the Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften - ISAS - (Institute for Analytical Sciences) in Dortmund until his retirement in 2003. He is currently working as guest scientist. His research activities are mainly focused on investigation of surfaces and thin films by electron spectroscopy related to the development and application of new materials in mechanical engineering. He has published over 110 research articles, reviews, and book chapters.
