This book provides a detailed and rigorous presentation of the spectroscopy and dynamics of orientationally structured adsorbates. It is intended largely for specialists and graduate students in solid state theory and surface physics. To make the book readable also for beginners in surface science, a lucid style is used and a wealth of references on orientational surface structures and vibrational excitations in them is offered. The book is supplemented with two indices (alphabetical listing of subjects and authors, as well as cross-references) which will enable the reader to easily access...
