Materials science

a theory of crystal growth in which adatoms diffuse to steps and screw dislocations provide self-perpetuating steps, allowing growth at low supersaturation.

In materials science, Burton-Cabrera-Frank theory refers to a theory of crystal growth in which adatoms diffuse to steps and screw dislocations provide self-perpetuating steps, allowing growth at low supersaturation. This meaning comes from Burton (1951) in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences.[1]
