Crystal Growth FundamentalsThermodynamics of Crystallization\nAuthor(s): Peter Rudolph\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: De Gruyter, Germany\nImprint: De Gruyter\nISBN-13: 9783111711058, 978-3111711058\nSynopsis\nA profound knowledge about crystal growth fundamentals and processes is needed for nanocrystals, epitaxial thin films and bulk crystals which became significant as the centerpieces of micro- and optoelectronics, photonics, computing. The mastery of crystallization and epitaxial processes requires a profound interdisciplinary knowledge that combines chemistry, crystallography, material science, physics. \n\n This three-volume textbook presents the three pillars of experimental crystal growth: \n\n _Thermodynamics of crystallization. \n\n _Kinetics of crystallization. \n\n _Transport of heat and mass. \n\n Part 1: Thermodynamics of Crystallization.
