thin films growth modes
(rus. механизмы роста тонких пленок)
—
classification of thin films growth modes on substrates.
Description
There are three main thin film growth mechanisms. These mechanisms have been named after their authors and include:
1) Frank-van der Merve growth mode;
2) Volmer-Weber growth mode;
3) Stranski-Krastanov (layer-plus-island) growth mode.
