Welcome

This session focuses on the latest advances in physics and technology of epitaxial growth. Both, UHV and gas-phase based epitaxial growth methods, will be covered. Following the current trends, that surface processes during epitaxial growth have to be followed on the scale of atomic mono/submono layers, the very recent developments in in-situ monitoring methods will be covered: XRD, RHEED, SPM, and RAS/RDS in MBE as well as laser deflection, high-resolution reflectance, surface temperature sensing and again XRD, SPM, and RAS/RDS in MOVPE. Contributions regarding basic growth studies in either of the epitaxial methods as well as contributions highlighting the latest technology progress in growing structures for high-brightness LEDs, Blue/UV/Telecom lasers, high-power and high-frequency electronics, high-efficiency solar cell will be highly welcome.
