Growth of Crystals

Volume 20 presents the latest Russian and Ukrainian research on the three principal crystallization methods: vapor, solution, and melt. Divided into three sections, chapters focus on heterostructure formation, growth from solutions, and the preparation of a homogeneous material during melt crystallization. Topics include the manifestation of macrodefects connected with the generation of twins in HgCdTe films, mechanisms that limit the accumulation of an impurity in front of a growth step, and a new method for preparing untwinned single crystals of certain high-temperature 1-2-3 superconductors.
