Morphology and Structure of Surfaces and Interfaces

  • Chapter
Surfaces and Interfaces of Solids

  • 220 Accesses

Abstract

To begin with, it will be useful to give a brief definition of the terms morphology and structure. The term morphology is associated with a macroscopic property of solids. The word originates from the Greek μoρøή,which means form or shape, and here it will be used to refer to the macroscopic form or shape of a surface or interface. Structure, on the other hand, is associated more with a microscopic, atomistic picture and will be used to denote the detailed geometrical arrangement of atoms and their relative positions in space.
