---

This is the first textbook on nucleation, crystal growth and epitaxy. It is written from a unified point of view and thus is a noneclectic presentation of this interdisciplinary topic in the field of materials science. The reader is required to possess some knowledge of mathematics and physics. All formulae and equations are illustrated by examples of technological importance. This book gives not only the fundamentals but also the state of the art on the subject. Thus it serves as a valuable reference book for both graduate students and scientific researchers on materials science.
