This work of reference, comprising over 50 chapters is being published in three volumes. The objective is to present the underlying scientific foundation of the multi-disciplinary field of crystal growth. The handbook is a comprehensive compendium on crystal growth, documenting authoritatively in one publication the fundamentals of the subject. As such, it is a work which should find its way into the libraries of industrial companies engaged in crystal growth and/or epitaxy and of academic or industrial research laboratories studying crystal growth processes in whatever materials. It should also serve as a source book for graduate and post-graduate teaching in the field. Volume 1 addresses the underlying scientific principles relevant to all the techniques of crystal growth. Following a historical introduction, the first part contains eight chapters devoted to thermodynamic, kinetic and crystallographic aspects, including computer simulation by molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo methods.
The second part, comprising a further seven chapters, is devoted to bulk transport effects and the influence of transport-limited growth on the stability of both isolated growth forms (such as the dendrite) and arrays, and on the cooperative effects which lead to pattern formation.
