Stranski-Krastanov heteroepitaxial metal deposition

Berlin, where he received his Ph.D. in 1925. In 1926 he habilitated for physical chemistry in Sofia, where he became extraordinary Professor in 1926, and full Professor in 1937. In 1930/31 he worked as a Rockefeller scholar at the TH Berlin, and in 1935/36 at the Technical Institute of the Ural in Sverdlovsk, USSR (now Ekaterinburg, Russia). He was Guest Professor in Breslau from 1941 to 1944 and then went to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry in Berlin. From 1945 until 1963 he was Professor at the Technical University of Berlin (West-Berlin). Stranski made fundamental contributions to the theory of crystal growth and surface chemistry (see - Stranski-Krastanov heteroepitaxial metal deposition) and [ii].
