Kinetics of Ordering and Growth at Surfaces

Booknews

Proceedings of the September 1989 conference. Theorists and experimentalists from the fields of surface science and thin-film growth present 32 essays on the fundamental structural and kinetic processes that led to the initial stages of film growth, from both scientific perspectives. The discussion covers topics that primarily relate to kinetic processes in two dimensional ordering and structure, microscopic processes involved in epitaxial growth, and the morphological evolution of surfaces and films that grow on them. Also includes theoretical chapters on surface smoothening and on the development of morphology during growth. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
