Thin Films: Heteroepitaxial Systems

Series on Directions in Condensed Matter Physics- Volume 15

World Scientific Publishing Co., 1999

ISBN: 9810233906

Edited by W.K. Liu and M.B. Santos

 

Heteroepitaxial films are commonplace among today's electronic and photonic devices. The realization of new and better devices relies on the refinement of epitaxial techniques and improved understanding of the physics underlying epitaxial growth. This book provides an up-to-date report on a wide range of materials systems. The first half reviews metallic and dielectric thin films, including chapters on metals, rare earths, metal-oxide layers, fluorides, and high-temperature superconductors. The second half covers semiconductor systems, reviewing developments in group-IV, arsenide, phosphide, antimonide, nitride, II-VI, and IV-VI heteroepitaxy. Topics important to several systems are covered in chapter on atomic processes, ordering and growth dynamics.
