Landman, U

The statements of progress, manuscripts and presentations described in this report represent the principal results in theoretical studies of surface phenomena and processes, aimed toward increasing understanding of fundamental processes which govern the properties of material surfaces. Studies cover a wide spectrum of surface phenomena: surface reactivity, surface crystallography, electronic and vibrational structure, dynamical processes, phase transformations and phase changes, and the properties of interfaces. In these investigations the authors developed and employed analytical and novel numerical, simulation, methods for the study of complex surface phenomena. Recent surface molecular dynamics studies, opened new avenues for the investigation of the microscopic dynamics and evolution of equilibrium and non-equilibrium processes at surfaces and interfaces. 18 refs.
