Notes

  1. 1.

    \(1\ \AA = 0.1\) nm.

  2. 2.

    This area of research is known as tribology.

  3. 3.

    In photon spectroscopy, the wavenumber is defined as \(\nu =1/\lambda \), one should note that the factor of \(2\pi \) is missing in this definition. \(2\pi /\lambda \) gives the number of radians per unit length, and \(1/\lambda \) gives the number of wavelengths per unit length.
