The Atomistic Nature of Crystal Growth [E-Book] / by Boyan Mutaftschiev.
Crystal growth and nucleation are treated in the specialized literature in different ways depending on the discipline in question (physics, physical chemistry, chemical engineering) and on the theoretical approaches (atomistic vs continuum approach as regards crystal growth, phase vs chemical concep...
