Reviews

"Written with the needs of both students and researchers in mind, this volume is the first book devoted exclusively to ion scattering spectrometry." (Spectroscopy, Vol. 17, No. 12, December 2002) "This...is the first treatise on ion scattering and recoiling spectroscopy...recommended." (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 7, March 2003) "...I learned a lot from this book and highly recommend it to all surface scientists and mass spectrometrists." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 125, No. 20, 2003) "...useful monograph...recommended...a good reference book that is strong on the principles and limited to one part of the 'applications' of ion scattering spectrometry." (Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 57, No.8, August 2003)
