摘要
Fundamental issues of the kinetics of phase separations on surfaces are reviewed with an emphasis on developments during the period from 1990 to present. Issues covered include: (i) the stability of thin films toward clustering, (ii) non-uniform film formation during deposition and (iii) non-uniform film evolution in the post-deposition phase.
