Crystallization amounts by nature to the self-assembly of very large, boundaryless supramolecular species. Its control is a goal of major importance in order to be able to generate solid-state materials of specific structural and physical properties (see also Sections 7.1, 7.2, 9.4.4 [7.39-7.42, 9.105, 9.245]). Supramolecular effects play a crucial role. Directional growth of materials may be induced by a template and involve molecular recognition [9.246], occurring by epitaxy [9.247] or on oriented thin films [9.248]. 

Epitaxis on solid state phases should be viewed in relation to catalysis because both processes follow a similar reaction path. In Fig. 6, the main steps are schematically outlined. Based on data on the molecular configuration of catalytic processes... 

The decision whether we are dealing with an epitaxial or catalytic association is thus structurally determined. Catalysis represents a flow of epitaxial associations, whereas epitaxis is dependent on a frozen-in transition structure, ie. the presence of a morphological catalyst. Adsorbent and solid state substrate become a new structural entity. Only removal or stripping of the adsorbent will reactivate the morphological catalyst.

I anticipate that some users will object that much of the material covered in this book is so recent it is not possible to feel as comfortable in teaching it as in teaching a more settled field such as solid state physics. I believe, however, that the subject dealt with here is so important, particularly now that techniques such as molecular beam epitaxy enable one to produce almost any material one designs, that no modern solid state scientist should be trained without a working knowledge of the kind of solid state chemistry dc.scribed in this text. 

The communications revolution also relies on a diverse set of CVD technologies. Some components are similar to those used in silicon microelectronics, but many are unique, involving complex epitaxial heterostructures of SiGe or compound semiconductor (e.g., AlGaAs) alloys that are required to yield high frequency (1-100 GHz) device operation. The communication revolution also relies on optoelectronic components, such as solid state diode lasers (another complex heterostructure device), and these devices are often grown by CVD. - Even the fiberoptic cables that transmit the optical component of the communications network are manufactured using a CVD technique to achieve the desired refractive index profile. ...

Two types of structure are induced in a fluid adjacent to a flat solid surface layering normal to the surfiice and epitaxial order in the plane of the surface. When a fluid film is confined between two solid surfaces at small separation, both types of order may span the entire film. Ejqjerimental consequences are oscillations in the normal force with film thickness, and phase transitions to solid states that resist shear forces. These two types of ordering give rise to changes in the dynamic response of films to an imposed shear velocity.
