Welcome

The session will cover all physical, chemical and technological aspects of epitaxial growth, starting from the substrate surface preparation (prior to epitaxy), through epitaxial growth modes (step-flow, 2D vs. 3D growth, step structure, etc.), ending with epi-layer properties induced by growth conditions. The contributions on lattice mismatch, thermal mismatch, defect formation and annihilation, microscopic models of epi-layer growth, lateral patterning for defect elimination or nanostructure formation, are strongly encouraged. The novel materials, new experimental techniques (including in-situ measurements), as well as industrial applications, are welcomed to be presented at this session.
