Infos

Gives a systematic overview on the scientific fundamentals of crystal growth from the classical phenomenological description to the recent thoeretical contributions of statistical physics such as studies on surface roughening and on the pattern formation in the diffusion-limited growth. The book emphasizes physical concepts as well as mathematical rigour, and is intended to serve as lecture notes for postgraduate courses.

Inhalt

Ideal growth laws; statistical mechanics of surface; kinetics-limited growth; diffusion-limited growth - pattern formation; appendices - more on surface roughening, advance rate of a circular step, advance velocity of a spiral step, parabolic coordinate, dendritic growth, eutectic growth theory by Jackson and Hunt.
