Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed-Matter Physics VII provides a broad overview of recent developments.

Since the first edition of "e;Scanning 'funneling Microscopy I"e; has been pub- lished, considerable progress has been made in the application of STM to the various classes of materials treated in this volume, most notably in the field of adsorbates and molecular systems.

Quantum Optics VI documents the most recent theoretical and experimental developments in this field, with particular emphasis on atomic optics and interferometry, which is a new and rapidly developing area of research.

In the present edition, a number of new features have been added.
