This is an interactive course explaining: 1. The main physical and chemical concepts to understand epitaxy of crystalline thin films. 2. What determines the morphology, composition and structure of a material grown per epitaxy.Content
- Structure and energy of epitaxial interfaces.
- Mechanism of growth of epitaxial films.
- The role of surfactants in epitaxial growth
- Phase diagrams in crystal growth. Particular caseof III-V semiconductors.
- Epitaxy techniques
- Epitaxy of nanostructures
Keywords
epitaxy, thin films, heterostructures, quantum wells,
quantum dots, nanowires.
