MECHANISMS AND NON-LINEAR PROBLEMS OF NUCLEATION AND GROWTH OF CRYSTALS AND THIN FILMS

Dear colleagues

We are glad to announce preliminary scientific program of the conference. In the current announcement you can also find updated information about accommodation hotels, conference venue, visa, conference proceedings, abstract submission and conference fee. Information about international advisory board, conference history and other general aspects is available at the conference web-site.

The main topics of the conference

Mechanisms of crystal formation and growth in single- and multi-component systems: theoretical description of the process, numerical modeling, experimental results.

New methods and approaches to description of the growth and investigation of different properties of wide-bandgap semiconductors (AlN, GaN, SiC, etc.).

Nonlinear and collective phenomena in the process of crystal growth.

Physics, chemistry, and mechanics of crystal surfaces.

Origin and statistics of lattice defects and their effect on the crystal growth and properties.

Fundamental problems (nucleation theory, phase transitions etc.).
