Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE):

What is MBE – Stands for molecular beam epitaxy. It is a technique used to grow atomic layers of one material on top of another. This technique is used in industry to produce optoelectronic and high speed devices (i.e.,
lasers, diodes and transistors).Molecular Beam Epitaxy, M.A. Herman and H. Sitter. Springer, 2nd ed., 1996. ISBN# 3540605940
