Our understanding of the basic processes of crystal growth has
meanwhile reached the level of maturity at least in the
phenomenological concepts. This concerns for example the growth of
pure crystals from a low-density nutrient phase like vapor or
dilute solution with various aspects of pattern formation like
spiral and layer growth, facetting and roughening, and the
stability of smooth macroscopic shapes, as well as basic mechanisms
of impurity incorporation in melt growth of (in this sense) simple
materials like silicon or organic model substances. In parallel the
experimental techniques to quantitatively ana lyze the various
growth mechanisms have also reached a high level of reproducibility
and precision, giving reliable tests on theoretical predictions.
These basic concepts and appli cations to experiments have been
recently reviewed by one of us (A. A. C. ) in "Modern
Crystallography III. Crystal Growth" (Springer Series on Solid
State Sciences, 1983). It has to be emphasized, however, that for
practical applications we are still unable to quantitatively
calculate many important parameters like kinetic coefficients from
first principles. For mixed systems such as complex oxides,
solutions and systems with chemi cal reactions, our degree of
understanding is even lower. As a few examples for present
achievements we note that experiments with vapour and molecular
beam condensation of alkali halides confirmed the qualitatively
predicted mechanisms of screw dislocations and two-dimensional
nucleation for layer-growth.
