Surface physics with nuclear probes

Abstract

A series of typical experiments using nuclear moments as microscopic probes for hyperfine fields on surfaces are discussed: Mössbauer spectroscopy, perturbed angular correlation studies, nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear spin relaxation due to spin-lattice relaxation, and low-dimensional diffusion. Experiments are selected which deal mainly with well-characterized surfaces. Out of a wealth of data, particularly those that contribute to currently discussed topics in surface science are selected.
