Advanced thin film deposition techniques allow obtaining epitaxial films, as well as different types of heterostructures with controlled microstructure and a very reduced number of defects. They are thus essential for understanding and tailoring the properties of materials, to obtain materials with new functionalities and to develop devices with new/improved performances. The workshop “Epitaxial growth: fundamentals and techniques” is organized into a series of tutorial talks that will cover the fundamental aspects of epitaxy and the main epitaxial growth techniques.
Fundamental aspects of Epitaxial Growth: film nucleation, layer growth, strain release and microstructure
Epitaxial nanocomposites, design and unprecedented functionalities
Pulsed laser deposition
Sputtering deposition
Chemical routes for epitaxial thin film deposition: strengths and weaknesses
Molecular beam epitaxy in materials science
Atomic Layer Deposition, Current State and Future Prospects
