In 2001 he became a Full Professor for condensed matter physics. He was a research staff member at the University of Genoa from 1984 to 1992, when he became Associate Professor. He graduated in Physics from the University of Genova. He performed his Ph.D. studies on surface phonon anomalies induced by adsorption of gases at the Forschungszentrum Jülich under supervision of Harald Ibach and received his degree from RWTH Aachen University. Mario Rocca is an experimental physicist, working on the experimental measurement of surface phonon spectra, conventional and acoustic surface plasmon dispersion, and gas surface interaction. The handbook is an ideal reference guide and instructional aid for a wide range of physicists, chemists, materials scientists and engineers active throughout academic and industrial research. These include but are not limited to novel applications in nanoelectronics, nanomechanical devices, plasmonics, carbon films, catalysis, astrochemistry and biology. Beginning with the fundamental background of kinetics and thermodynamics at surfaces, the handbook leads the reader through the basics of crystallographic structures and electronic properties, to the advanced topics at the forefront of current research. Over 100 experts from all branches of experiment and theory review in 39 chapters all major aspects of solid-state surfaces, from basic principles to applications, including the latest, ground-breaking research results.

This handbook delivers an up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative coverage of the broad field of surface science, encompassing a range of important materials such metals, semiconductors, insulators, ultrathin films and supported nanoobjects.
