Abstract
The high-field crystal growth, which refers to crystal growth events occurring on metallic substrates placed in an intense electric field, differs essentially from conventional crystal growths, in that its particle supply process is governed by electrostatic forces. This paper reviews related topics including a recent finding by an industrial research group. The underlying physical processes are also discussed briefly.
