This volume contains the majority of papers presented at the symposium 'Thin Films Epitaxial Growth and Nanostructures', which was held as Symposium D of the E-

The main focus of the book are the physical mechanisms behind the spontaneous formation of ordered nanostructures at semiconductor surfaces. These mechanisms ar

"This volume provides a broad overview of the fundamental materials science of thin films that use silicon as an active substrate or passive template, with an e
