Synopsis

Originally published in 1991, this book, based on the 1989 Beg-Rohu summer school, contains six sets of pedagogical lectures by internationally respected researchers on the statistical physics of crystal growth. Providing a course in which the phenomena of shape and growth are viewed from a fresh vantage point, the lectures cover a variety of developments in the field and reflect on problems that have received inadequate attention. Statistical physicists, condensed matter physicists, metallurgists, and applied mathematicians will find this a stimulating and valuable book on an important topic.

About this title

Review:

"Those interested in statistical physics and applied mathematics will find this a stimulating introduction to this area of research." Mathematical Reviews

"...a collection of 6 lectures given by specialists who are among the best in the world...a didactic, self-contained and rather complete introduction to the physics, and mainly statistical physics, of growth." Jacques Villain, , Foundations of Physics
