Conventional epitaxial techniques require single-crystal,                       lattice-matching substrates.  This represents a significant constraint          on the development of higher levels of integration in electronic and            electrooptic systems.  Graphoepitaxy, in which an artificial,                   submicron-period surface pattern provides a template for film                   orientation, offers a possibility of circumventing the constraint of            conventional epitaxy.  The research has the scientific objectives of:           providing basic knowledge about interfacial interactions between films          and substrates and the kinetics of grain growth in ultrathin films;             providing knowledge of how artificial patterning on a submicrometer             scale affects interfacial energetics and kinetics; and providing                knowledge of how film orientation is affected by such patterning.  The          researchers are working with model materials, such as gold and other            metallic systems, with an emphasis on basic studies and providing               guidelines for the application of graphoepitaxy to technologically              important material configurations.  The long-range impact of this basic         research will be to provide a technology for achieving                          low-defect-density, single-crystal films of technologically important           materials on amorphous substrates.
