Dubrovskii V.G. Nucleation Theory and Growth of Nanostructures

Springer Heidelberg New York Dordrecht London, 2014, XIII, 601 p. 358 illus., 126 illus. in color. — ISBN: 978-3-642-39659-5, ISBN: 978-3-642-39660-1 (eBook), DOI 10.1007/978-3-642-39660-1 — (NanoScience and Technology).Semiconductor nanostructures such as nanowires are promising building blocks of future nanoelectronic, nanophotonic and nanosensing devices. Their physical properties are primarily determined by the epitaxy process which is rather different from the conventional thin film growth. This book shows how the advanced nucleation theory can be used in modeling of growth properties, morphology and crystal phase of such nanostructures. The book represents a systematic account of modern nucleation theory in open systems, nanostructure nucleation and growth mechanisms, and possibilities for tuning the nanostructure properties to the desired values.Inhaltsverzeichnis
