Abstract
We review the current understanding of growth of metals on metal films prepared in far-from equilibrium conditions. Recent experimental and computational studies of metal-on-metal growth are presented and physi cal/chemical factors controlling this type of growth are identified an d discussed. The technique of atom beam scattering to probe thin film growth isl situ and in real time is illustrated in detail with selecte d results of a study of metal-on-metal heteroepitaxial growth.
