Renormalised field theory for ideal molecular-beam epitaxy

In this thesis an overview is given of the renormalisation group as it is applied to equilibrium systems; the methods of field theory are extended to non-equilibrium systems, described by a Langevin equation in the stead of a Hamiltonian; this analysis is applied to a well known model of surface gro...
