The evolution of thin-film and surface structure impacts significantly on a number of high-technology areas involving the electronics, electro-optics, magnetic data storage, petrochemical and polymer industries, among others. This volume draws together researchers working in the areas of surface structure, dynamics and growth characterization, to identify common interest areas and to promote interdisciplinary interaction. Topical emphasis is centered on the information content derived, rather than the specific materials involved.
