13th Course : Crystal Growth in Science and Technology

27 Aug to 7 Sept 1987

a NATO Advanced Study Institute

 

Director : Hanns Arend. ETH, Zuerich

Purpose of the Course

Science and art of crystal growth represent an interdisciplinary activity based on fundamental principles of physics, chemistry and crystallography. Crystal growth has contributed over the years essentially to a widening of knowledge in its basic disciplines and has penetrated practically into all fields of experimental natural sciences. It has acted, more over, in a steadily increasing manner as a link between science and technology as can be seen best, for example, from the achievements in modern microelectronics.

The aim of this course being to stress the interdisciplinary character of the subject, selected fundamental principles are being reviewed and cross links between basic and applied aspects are therefore brought to evidence. It is a very well known fact that the intensive developments of crystal growth lead to a progresive narrowing of interests in highly specialized directions which is particularly harmful to young researchers. The organizers sincerely hope that the programme would help to broaden up the horizon of the attendees. It is equally their wish to contribute within the traditional spirit of the school of crystallography in Erice to the promotion of mutual understanding, personal friendship and future collaboration.
