Abstract Sixty-five years have passed since Burton, Cabrera and Frank (BCF) published the seminal paper (W. K. Burton, N. Cabrera and F. C. Frank, Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. London, 243 (1951), 299). Since then, the paper provided us the basic scheme of growth of crystals. In this lecture, the BCF theory is introduced for beginners as the basis of modern crystal growth study. The BCF theory explained the growth of facets with the help of screw dislocations. It introduced the concept of the roughening transition, which distinguishes the crucial difference of lateral growth of facets and normal growth of round surfaces.

BCF 理论简介

摘要 自从 Burton, Cabrera and Frank (BCF) 发表开创性论文 (WK Burton, N. Cabrera and FC Frank, Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. London, 243 (1951), 299) 以来，已经过去了 65 年。此后，该论文为我们提供了晶体生长的基本方案。在本讲座中，为初学者介绍了 BCF 理论，作为现代晶体生长研究的基础。BCF 理论在螺位错的帮助下解释了小平面的生长。它引入了粗糙过渡的概念，它区分了刻面的横向生长和圆形表面的正常生长的关键区别。
