Preface
Defects play a dominant role in the rich chemistry and physics of metal oxide surfaces, and which therefore have a profound influence on the burgeoning range of applications. A well-known example concerns titanium oxide, for which the reactive and electronic properties and chemical reactivity stem from variations of stoichiometry. Defects are thought to play a key role in the activity of metal oxides as heterogeneous catalysts or catalytic supports. Moreover, they have been involved in mec
