Summary: |
This book provides a detailed and rigorous presentation of the spectroscopy and dynamics of orientationally structured adsorbates. It is intended largely for specialists and graduate students in solid state theory and surface physics. To make the book readable also for beginners in surface science, a lucid style is used and a wealth of references on orientational surface structures and vibrational excitations in them is offered. The book is supplemented with two indices (alphabetical listing of subjects and authors, as well as cross-references) which will enable the reader to easily access the information both on principal concepts involved and on specific adsorbate compositions. |

Contents: | 1. Introduction -- 2. Orientational structures of adsorbates. 2.1. Brief survey of experimental data and theoretical approaches. 2.2. Orientational ordering in two-dimensional dipole systems. 2.3. Lateral interactions of nonpolar molecules and expressing them in a quasi-dipole form. 2.4. Ground states and phase transitions for a system of nonpolar molecules on a square lattice. 2.5. Orientational phase transitions in planar systems of nonpolar molecules -- 3. Dispersion laws for collective excitations on complex planar lattices. 3.1. Complex orientational structures and corresponding Davydov-split spectral lines. 3.2. Lattice-sublattice relations and its application to orientational structures on square and honeycomb lattices. 3.3. Chain orientational structures on planar lattices -- 4. Temperature dependences of spectral line shifts and widths. 4.1. Resonant nature of low-frequency collective excitations of molecules on surfaces. 4.2. Markov approximation for Green's functions of molecular subsystems in the condensed phase. 4.3. Generalization of the exchange dephasing model to various cases of anharmonic coupling between high-frequency and low-frequency modes, and to the case of collectivized excitations in adsorbate. |
