CRC Press

The second edition of this comprehensive handbook reflects the rapid evolution within the field, serving as a reference for the novice and the expert alike. With more than 500 illustrations and 50 tables, it covers the range of relevant topics, including characterization of solid surfaces, measurement techniques and applications, and the theoretical modeling of interfaces. Topics added to this edition include AFM instrumentation, surface forces and adhesion, design and construction of magnetic storage devices, microdynamical devices and systems, mechanical properties of materials in microstructures, and the micro/nanotribology and mechanics of MEMS devices. > \nThis second edition of Handbook of Micro/Nanotribology addresses the rapid evolution within this field, serving as a reference for the novice and the expert alike. Two parts divide this handbook: Part I covers basic studies, and Part II addresses design, construction, and applications to magnetic storage devices and MEMS.\ny
