Abstract
One of the most important advances in the study of condensed matter of the last few years is that men has started to manipulate matter on the atomic and molecular scales. In line with the spectacular development of ultra-high vacuum techniques, a great many novel materials are being made by chemical or physical vapour deposition, materials which could never have been obtained by means of conventional chemical synthesis. The advent of the scanning tunneling microscope and the enormous increase in resolution of the electron microscopes enable us to actually observe matter “in real space” on the atomic scale. Since the artificially obtained materials often have a layered structure, with a repetition rate that can extend from a single monolayer up to hundreds of layers, the study of surfaces and interfaces has become of prime importance.
