ID: stranski-krastanov-growth

Stranski–Krastanov growth is a fundamental process in the field of materials science and nanotechnology, specifically concerning the growth of thin films and semiconductor materials. It describes a two-stage mechanism of heteroepitaxial film growth, where a thin layer of material (the "film") grows on a different substrate.
