Chemistry and Physics of Solid Surfaces V pp 339–363Cite as

Finite Size Effects, Surface Steps, and Phase Transitions

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 35))

Abstract

This chapter is not a review in the usual sense. It rather comprises an outline of several aspects of the interplay between finite-size effects on surfaces — especially as induced by ordered arrays of steps — and phase transitions or related phenomena.
