Abstract:
A survey is given of the integrated Hartman-Perdok roughening transition
theory, developed during the last 15 years. Special attention is paid to
a new
extension of this theory taking the fluid part of the interface into
account. A morphological theory concerning an explanation of the occurrence
of faces
(hklm) on modulated crystals is reviewed.
