That branch of science involved in the study and utilization of the motion, emissions and behaviors of currents of electrical energy flowing through gases, vacuums, semiconductors and conductors, not to be confused with electrics, which deals primarily with the conduction of large currents of electricity through metals.
epitaxial
Epitaxial refers to the growth of a crystalline layer on a crystalline substrate in such a way that the orientation of the crystal lattice of the growing layer is related to that of the substrate. In other words, epitaxial growth involves the deposition of a thin film or layer of material onto a crystalline substrate in a way that maintains a well-defined relationship between the atomic arrangement of the layer and the substrate. Epitaxial growth is commonly used in the manufacturing of...
