- Summary
- "Scanning Probe Microscopy is a comprehensive source of information for researchers, teachers, and graduate students about the rapidly expanding field of scanning probe theory. Written in a tutorial style, the book explains from the ground up the theory behind today's simulation techniques and gives examples of theoretical concepts through state-of-the-art simulations, including the means to compare these results with experimental data. The authors provide the first comprehensive framework for electron transport theory with its various degrees of approximations, thus allowing extensive insight into the physics of scanning probes. Experimentalists will appreciate how materials properties influence the instrument's operation, and theorists will understood how simulations can be directly compared to experimental data."--BOOK JACKET.
