Publisher Description: The evolution of epitaxial structure and morphology has assumed enormous scientific and technological importance in many areas of materials science. From the growth of magnetic multilayers to the fabrication of semiconductor devices, it is generally recognized that a basic understanding of microstructural development is fundamental to the control of the electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties of thin films. This volume focuses on the structure and morphology of epitaxial systems with a particular emphasis on the time evolution of these properties as growth proceeds. It brings together the latest advances in theory and experiment to assess the relative roles of wetting and cohesion, reconstruction, surface and interfacial energy, misfit stress, and defect generation and propagation. Interdisciplinary in nature, the volume covers a broad mix of work, from basic studies of epitaxial metals and semiconductors to their application in thin-film electronic materials technology. |
