| Description: | The present publication comprises the proceedings of the 10th International Summer School on Crystal Growth. It is an excellent introduction to the main features of the science and technology of crystal growth. The book covers the fundamental aspects of growth - thermodynamics, fluid-dynamics, interface mechanisms, etc. - and provides an overview of practical techniques, with reference to the preparation of technologically important crystals. In view of the complexity and specialization involved in modern crystal growth processes, great effort has been made to give a self-consistent outline of the basics of crystal growth. A chapter on structural characterization has also been included, bearing in mind the important role that crystallographic defects play in finished components. This will be an invaluable guide to beginners who have just entered the field and need to become rapidly familiar with the theory and practice of crystal growth. |
