chemical potential formula
[edit]Sorry but what does 'n' stand for in the formula for the chemical potential? It is not made explicit, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xikh (talk • contribs) 21:30, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Wish I could give you an answer, but I've got no clue! You might get a quicker response on questions like this one from the reference desk, though; there will be more eyes on it, at least. Good luck! -- Vary | Talk 21:56, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Article split?
[edit]This article, though titled "Stranski-Krastanov growth", actually discusses Volmer-Weber and Frank-van der Merwe growth modes as well. Perhaps the article should be split, or renamed to something like "Crystal growth modes"? C3lticmatt (talk) 17:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hey I agree with the article split. It seems like SK growth and the other three modes are all bunched up together. (Thetlt (talk) 09:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC))
- I agree. Besides, there are not any dedicated articles for the other growth modes. (Nicdall (talk) 11:32, 3 November 2017 (UTC))
- I've started writing an article for the Van der Merwe growth. I agree that Stranski–Krastanov_growth#Modes_of_thin-film_growth should be split into a separate article, or become part of Thin film.Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 09:54, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- (I would) make it part of Thin film. Ponor (talk) 12:11, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

- This split proposal has been sittin without further discussion for two years, so I will remove the tag -- if someone wants to revive it please do. Personally I see nothing that should be removed. There has to be a little discussion on VW/FvM for context, and what it currently here is adequate. Ldm1954 (talk) 01:17, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
This is a very well-written section (thanks!). Since this talks about the physical/chemical process of epitaxial growth, I propose this section be moved to Epitaxy#Mechanism section, instead of the thin-film article. Sabih omar 20:55, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
Stranski and Krastanov's Original Paper?
[edit]I've been searching for the original paper, and because all these references I see are somewhat wrong, it has been pretty difficult. (See footnotes 5 and 6.) I know it must have been published before 1957 (the earliest reference to the paper I have found so far), but which journal? Wien (Vienna) or Mainz? And who has access to the journal? Orrin Jelo (talk) 20:44, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Must be Wien(Vienna). The ADW in Mainz was founded in 1949 Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur. I have the 1958 Bauer paper at hand, the reference there is "I. N. Stranski aund L. Krastanow, Zur Theorie der orientierten Ausscheidung von Ionenkristallen aufeinander. Sitzungsber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-naturwiss. Kl. IIb. 146, (1938) 797-810". It might be available in Mainz: https://opac.ub.uni-mainz.de/DB=1/PPN?PPN=04731978X and other German Universities. --134.93.68.231 (talk) 17:26, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
- Stranski and Krastanov did not really discuss what today we call SK...
- see discussion in
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960897423000104
- which implies that the originally cited reference by Bauer, is ok, but not the source of the growth mode nomenclature. Bauer is the person who "invented" the nomenclature , picking in the literature things which went close to what he wanted to do. 143.239.67.251 (talk) 12:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
