Structural Defects at Surfaces

  • Chapter
Surface Science

Part of the book series: Advanced Texts in Physics ((ADTP))

Abstract

An ideal ordered surface with complete translational symmetry does not occur in reality. Each real surface always contains a certain number of structural defects. The surface defects are usually classified according to their dimensionality into

  • zero-dimensional or point defects and

  • one-dimensional or line defects.
