This book emphasises both experimental and theoretical aspects of surface, interface and thin film physics. Compa- red to the earlier editions, which bore the title "Surfaces and Interfaces of Solid Materials", the book now places more emphasis on thin films, including also their superconducting and ferromagnetic properties. The present 4th edition thus presents techniques of preparing well-defined solid surfaces and interfaces, fundamental aspects of adsorption and layer growth, as well as basic models for the descripti- on of structural, vibronic and electronic properties of sur- faces, interfaces and thin films. Because of their importan- ce for modern information technology, significant attention is paid to the electronic properties of semiconductor inter- faces and heterostructures. Collective phenomena , such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism, also feature promi- nently. Experimental sections covering essential measurement and preparation techniques are presented in separate panels.

The second edition deals with all essential aspects of non-relativistic quantum physics up to the quantisation of fields. In contrast to common textbooks of quantum mechanics, modern experiments are described both for the purpose of foundation of the theory and in relation to recent applications. Links are made to important research fields and applications such as elementary particle physics, solid state physics and nuclear magnetic resonance in medicine, biology and material science. Special emphasis is paid to quantum physics in nanoelectronics such as resonant tunnelling, Coulomb blockade and the realisation of quantum bits.  This second edition also considers quantum transport through quantum point contacts and its application as charge detectors in nanoelectronic circuits. Also the realization and the study of electronic properties of an artificial quantum dot molecule are presented. Because of its recent interest a brief discussion of Bose-Einstein condensation has been included, as well as the recently detected Higgs particle. Another essential new addition to the present book concerns a detailed discussion of the particle picture in quantum field theory. Counterintuitive aspects of single particle quantum physics such as particle-wave duality and the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox appear more acceptable to our understanding if discussed on the background of quantum field theory. The non-locality of quantum fields explains non-local behaviour of particles in classical Schrödinger quantum mechanics. Finally, new problems have been added. The book is suitable as an introduction into quantum physics, not only for physicists but also for chemists, biologists, engineers, computer scientists and even for philosophers as far as they are interested in natural philosophy and epistemology.

This book emphasises both experimental and theoretical aspects of surface, interface and thin film physics. As in previous editions the preparation of surfaces and thin films, their atomic and morphological, their vibronic and electronic properties as well as fundamentals of adsorption are treated. Because of their importance in modern information technology and nanostructure physics particular emphasis is paid to electronic surface and interface states, semiconductor space charge layers and heterostructures as well as to superconductor/semiconductor interfaces and magnetic thin films. The latter topic was significantly extended in this new edition by more details about the giant magnetoresistance and a section about the spin-transfer torque mechanism including one new problem as exercise. Two new panels about Kerr-effect and spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy were added, too. Furthermore, the meanwhile important group III-nitride surfaces and high-k oxide/semiconductor interfaces are shortly discussed in this new 5th edition of the book.

Das Buch behandelt alle wesentlichen Aspekte der nichtrelativistischen Quantenphysik bis hin zur Quantisierung von Feldern. Im Gegensatz zu üblichen Lehrbüchern der Quantenmechanik werden jedoch modernste Experimente sowohl zur Begründung der Theorie wie auch zu modernen Anwendungen, vor allem aus dem Gebiet der Nanoelektronik bis hin zur Realisierung von Quantenbits vorgestellt und diskutiert. Weiter wird der Bezug zu anderen wichtigen Forschungsgebieten und Anwendungen wie der Elementarteilchenphysik, der Festkörperphysik und der Kernspintomographie in der Medizin aufgezeigt. Auch wenn die Darstellung in weiten Bereichen auf der Diracschen bra-ket-Notation und der Kommutatoralgebra basiert, steht die anschauliche Darstellung der physikalischen Zusammenhänge und die gedankliche Durchdringung der theoretischen Konzepte im Vordergrund. Wegen der recht geringen Voraussetzung an komplexer Mathematik eignet sich das Buch als Einführung in das Gebiet der Quantenphysik, nicht nur für Physiker sondern auch für Chemiker, Biologen, Ingenieure und Informatiker und selbst für Philosophen, falls sie denn naturwissenschaftlich orientiert sind.
