Inhaltsangabe

 

The processes of new phase formation and growth are of fundamental importance in numerous rapidly developing scientific fields such as modern materials science, micro- and optoelectronics, and environmental science. Crystal Growth for Beginners combines the depth of information in monographs, with the thorough analysis of review papers, and presents the resulting content at a level understandable by beginners in science. The book covers, in practice, all fundamental questions and aspects of nucleation, crystal growth, and epitaxy.

This book is a non-eclectic presentation of this interdisciplinary topic in materials science. The third edition brings existing chapters up to date, and includes new chapters on the growth of nanowires by the vapor–liquid–solid mechanism, as well as illustrated short biographical texts about the scientists who introduced the basic ideas and concepts into the fields of nucleation, crystal growth and epitaxy. All formulae and equations are illustrated by examples that are of technological importance. The book presents not only the fundamentals but also the state of the art in the subject.

Crystal Growth for Beginners is a valuable reference for both graduate students and researchers in materials science. The reader is required to possess some basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and thermodynamics.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ivan V Markov is, at present, Associated Professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia. From 1992 to 1994 he was guest professor in the Department of Materials Science of the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, and in 1998 in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, giving lectures on the fundamentals of nucleation, crystal growth and epitaxy. His research interests are primarily concerned with nucleation and the mechanisms of epitaxial growth. Markov graduated from the University of Sofia with a degree in chemistry, in 1965. He then joined the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia, where he obtained his PhD degree in electrochemical nucleation of metals in 1976, and his DSci in some theoretical problems of epitaxial growth of thin films, in 1989.
