Opis

This is the first-ever book on the preparation, atomic-level description, and chemistry of ultrathin silica films grown on metal substrates. Silica is one of the key materials in many modern technological applications.

Recenzje

"This excellent and complete overview covers all aspects, from preparation to characterization and potential use, of the emerging field of two-dimensional silica and silicates. From their discovery 20 years ago as model systems for catalysis, the study of these nanostructured materials has opened up new intriguing scenarios for their potential applications as nanoscale molecular sieves, protecting layers, or to perform reactions in confined space."
