Epioptics-7 - Proceedings Of The 24th Course Of The International School Of Solid State PhysicsThis book assesses the capabilities of state of the art optical techniques in elucidating the fundamental electronic and structural properties of semiconductor and metal surfaces, interfaces, thin layers, and layer structures. It also examines the usefulness of these techniques for optimization of high quality multilayer samples through feedback control during materials growth and processing. Emphasis is given to dynamical processes through the use of
