Abstract

A brief survey is presented of the methods of quantitative surface structure determination and some of the main phenomena that have been established, and their associated trends. These include surface relaxation and reconstruction of clean surfaces and the structures formed by atomic and molecular adsorbates. Examples include the surfaces of semiconductors, oxides and metals. Future challenges, concerned with complexity and precision, are discussed.
