Abstract
It is demonstrated how new microscopes with atomic resolution in combination with modern fast computers and computational techniques can be used in a complementary way in the analysis and explanation of crystal growth on surfaces. Examples are given of spiral formation, fractal growth, fullerene formation and the growth of C60 films. Zusammenfassung. Es wird gezeigt, wie neue Mikroskopiertechniken mit atomarer Auflösung in Kombination mit modernen schnellen Computern und neuen Computertechniken genutzt werden können, um auf Oberflächen Kristallwachstum zu analysieren und erklären. Beispiele für Spiralformationen, Fraktalwachstum, Fullerenebildung und Wachstum von C60 Filmen werden diskutiert.Keywords
