Progress continues in the theoretical treatment of surfaces and processes on surfaces based on first-principles methods, i.e. without invoking any empirical parameters. In this book, the theoretical concepts and computational tools necessary and relevant for a microscopic approach to the theoretical description of surface science is presented, together with a detailed discussion of surface phenomena. This makes the book suitable for both graduate students and forexperimentalists seeking an overview of the theoretical concepts in surface science. This second enlarged edition has been carefully revised and updated, anew chapter on surface magnetism is included, and novel developments in theoretical surface science are addressed. This 2nd enlarged and updated edition also includes a chapter on surface magnetism and addresses novel developments intheoretical surface science. Only some experimentally oriented books and textbooks on surface science have been available so far. This book will fill this gap Summarizes the basics, concepts and theoretical background of surface phenomena INDICE: Introduction.- The Hamiltonian.- Electronic Structure Methods and Total Energies.- Structure and Energetics of Clean Surfaces.- Adsorption on Surfaces.- Surface Magnetism.- Gas-Surface Dynamics.- Kinetic Modelling of Processes on Surfaces.- Electronically Non-adiabatic Processes.- Perspectives.
