liquid phase epitaxy; liquid phase epitaxy

Flow crystalline growth technique used to produce crystalline thin films epitaxially grown on a substrate.

homo-/hetero-epitaxy; homo-/hetero-epitaxy

Epitaxy of a thin layer of the same nature (homo-) or of a different nature (hetero-) to that of the substrate; the notion of epitaxy reflects the existence of a crystallographic relationship and a crystal lattice agreement between the epitaxial layer and its substrate.

solute; solute

Species dissolved in solution, intended to crystallize by lowering the temperature in the case of a flow growth technique.

solvent; solvent

Chemical compound facilitating the dissolution of a species (solute) and enabling the crystallization of...
