Description

The Springer Handbook of Crystal Growth brings together the science and technology of growing crystals, defect characterization and techniques, and understanding of the process of defect formation, including defects modeling. This unique reference conveys a fundamental understanding of crystal growth and defects, using the latest instrumentation and techniques available both for crystal fabrication and a clear understanding of defects. The Handbook covers three main areas of this rapidly advancing field: Crystal growth and defect formation; growth methods, and a variety of techniques used in characterization.

The text summarizes the most recent progress in the theory and experimental realization of crystal growth. This concise, comprehensive approach provides the reader with the most complete state-of-the-art presentation on the basics and realization of crystal growth yet published. The contributors are world-class authorities, and the Handbook offers many insights and practical hints for crystal growth researchers and engineers.
