Abstract
Artificial epitaxy, or graphoepitaxy, as a new approach to the oriented crystallization of films on amorphous substrates has received numerous confirmations in experiments on the crystal growth of a variety of materials from various media. One of the principal issues in this field consists in understanding the mechanism(s) of oriented crystallization in the light of current ideas of crystal growth in general. From such a point of view, available data on artificial epitaxy are analysed in this paper, and at least four different orientation mechanisms are singled out.
