Preface 
At  the  International  Summer  Institute in Surface Science  (ISISS), which  is 
held  bienially on  the Campus  of  the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 
invited speakers  present tutorial  review lectures during  the course of one 
week.  The  majority of the presentations deal  with  the gas-solid interface, 
but now  and  then  relevant reviews  concerning  liquid-solid or solid-solid 
interfaces are  included.  The  goal  of  ISISS  was  outlined in  the first ISISS 
publication: 
"We  recognize  that the  International  Summer  Institute in Surface Science 
should  foster mutual  understanding  and  interaction among  theorists and 
experimentalists  in  the various areas of surface science.  Progress  can  be 
achieved  only when  we  occasionally peek  over  the fence  into neighboring 
areas,  not  so much  to amuse  ourselves that the grass  is greener on  the other 
side as  to  learn from  their progress and,  perhaps  equally fruitfully,  from 
their limitations and  setbacks.  In  addition,  it is an  important task  in  any 
field of science to assess,  take count of what  is done  and, what  is more 
important,  to  point in  future directions." 
Since the foundation  of ISISS  in  1973,  the  invited speakers - internation 
ally recognized  experts  in  their area of specialization - have  been  asked 
to write review articles too.  We  wanted  in this way  to ensure that the 
largest possible group  of scientists could benefit from  the special  review 
concept.  The  collected articles from  past Institutes were  published by  the 
CRC  Press,  Boca  Raton,  Florida, USA,  under  the following  titles: 
Surface Science:  Recent Progress and Perspectives,  Critical  Reviews  in 
Solid-State Sciences 4,  124-559  (1974),  and 
Chemistry and Physics of Solid Surfaces, Vol.  I  (1976),  Vol.  II  (1979), 
Vol.  III  (1982). 
It is not intended that anyone volume will  offer a complete  state-of-the 
art report on  the whole field of  gas-solid interactions, an  impossible task 
given the rapidly expanding  scope of the field.  Instead,  recent developments
VI 
in  selected areas are presented,  providing up-to-date supplements  to exis 
ting textbooks  on  surface science.  Each  volume  also contains an  extensive 
subject index,  vital  for  the  usefulness  of a review series. 
It has  become  a tradition to start each volume  with a historical  review. 
Distinguished scientists such  as  P.H.  Emmet,  E.W.  MUller,  F.C.  Tomkins,  and 
G.-M.  Schwab  have  provided  their services  in  the  past.  The  authors of  this 
volume are  led by  William E.  Spicer, who  was  recently named  "Scientist of 
the Year"  by  the journal  "Industrial  Research  and  Development." 
It is no  easy decision to change  the  publisher for an  established book 
series.  Technical  reasons,  however,  did  not  leave us  any  choice.  We  are con 
vinced that the  long  experience of the Springer-Verlag and  its expertise in 
the area  of surface science will  ensure continuing success of "Chemistry 
and  Physics of Solid Surfaces."  We  hope  that this fourth volume,  with  its 
new  format,  will  be  as  well  received  as  its forerunners. 
Finally, we  would  like to thank our faithful  sponsors:  The Air Force 
Office of Scientific Resear.ch  and  the Office of Naval  Research  (Grant No. 
NOOOI4-81-G-0059),  as well  as  the College of  Letters and  Science and  the 
Graduate School  at UvJt1.
