A comprehensive review and state of the art in the field of surface, interface, and thin-film magnetism is presented. New growth techniques which produce
The latest optical determination of the superconducting-gap function for Bi 2Sr 2CaCu 2O 8 is consistent with weak-coupling theory. In contrast, a large
An instrument has been constructed for generating the complex scanning and data-collection sequences required for scanning tunneling microscopy. The instrument

This was an extended abstract prepared for inclusion in the Microscopy & Microanalysis '99 Proceedings. It is a summary of Observation of Antiparallel Magnetic
We have calculated electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) for 50-200 eV electrons in 31 materials (27 elements and 4 compounds). These calculations extend
Any reproduction of a visual artwork creates a representation that fails to capture some properties of the original. Since most art is not sufficiently portable
