Atomistic Aspects of Epitaxial Growth
Epitaxial growth lies at the heart of a wide range of industrial and technological applications. Recent breakthroughs, experimental and theoretical, allow actual atom-by-atom manipulation and an understanding of such processes, opening up a totally new area of unprecedented nanostructuring.\ The contributions to Atomistic Aspects of Epitaxial Growth are divided into five main sections, taking the reader from the atomistic details of surface diffusion to the macroscopic description of...

Magnetic storage media, electronic or photoelectronic devices, and catalytic converters are among the many industrial and technological applications that have sprouted from the epitaxial growth of such material as magnetic multilayers, semiconductor heterostructures, and metal-oxide systems. Experimentalists and theorists from various disciplines gathered in Dassia, Corfu, Greece in June 2001 to review recent experimental and theoretical developments, and to identify any stubborn pockets of resistance to enlightenment, in the atom-by-atom manipulation and understanding of the growth processes. They offer 46 papers from that occasion. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
