    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This book is the only comprehensive monograph which describes the many phenomena which occur when simple gases interact with surfaces. The phenomena have attracted the attention of chemists, physicists, and engineers as they are characteristic of the properties of matter in two dimensions. Physical Adsorption: Forces and Phenomena describes the present understanding of this fascinating subject from a fundamental and broad perspective, including the
    relationships between experiments, theories, and the results of computer simulation.

    Long description:

    Physical adsorption involves atomic or molecular films bound to surfaces by less than 0.5eV per particle (10 kcal/mole). This subject has attracted wide interest because these films exhibit behaviour characteristic of two-dimensional matter. The phase diagram of these films are diverse and often rich in structure because of the competing energy and length scales of the two interactions involved in this probelm: the mutual intercation between adsorped molecules and
    the force binding each molecule to the surface. This book describes the authors current understanding of these phenomena from a fundamental perspective. After explining the microscopic origin of these forces in terms of the constituent electrons, the text describes how statistical mechanical theory
    and/or computer simulation employ these forces to calculate the structural and dynamical properties of the films. Throughout the book, comparison is made with many relevant experiments.
    Unique in its field, this book will be of interest to students and both academic and industrial researchers in chemistry, engineering and physics.

    "It is well written and attractively produced ... for research workers in the field it is simply a must, and will be a major source of information, spurring on further detailed and related work" John Venables, University of Arizona and University of Sussex
