Presumably, we have no need to convince the reader of the importance of surface phenomena. More precisely, however, it is interface phenomena that are important: the solid/solid interface in electronics, the solid/liquid interface in electrochemistry, the solidlgas interface in catalysis. From the standpoint of technology, the solid/vacuum interface must by comparison seem of a lower order of priority. It is, however, accessible to the sort of poking and probing that enables us to better understand the force laws that determine the properties of all interfaces.
