A S we know, the atomic structure of the surface and the internal structure of a growing crystal differ from the equilibrium structures. For example, different faces incorporate an impurity in different ways (the sectorial structure of a crystal'1" 3· 1), and the amount of it in the crystal is not determined by the ordinary phase diagram. The metastable actual structure arising during growth is highly persistent. All of this is also true of copolymer chains that maintain a sequential order and concentration of monomers. Hence, crystallization and polymerization must be treated not only within the framework of statistical thermodynamics, but also that of statistical kinetics. The latter is the topic of this review.The atoms on the surface of a crystal are bound by collective interaction, both in the thermodynamic and the kinetic sense: the distribution of states (atomic surface configurations) and their rates of variation depend on the structure of the entire surface. The difficulties involved in this cooperative kinetics in single-component systems, and a fortiori in mixed systems, have led the theory of crystal growth to develop along the thermodynamic line. Above all, this development has given rise to the Kossel-Stranskii-Kaishev molecular-kinetic theory (see'4" 7 3). The latter is based mainly on analyzing the energies of different surface particles. Frenkel's thermodynamic analysisC8] of step and surface structure started the practice of accounting for entropy terms and complex configurations, leading to the concepts of atomically-smooth and rough surfaces. Barton and Cabrera19'10· 1 have taken into account collective interactions in an elementary surface layer, using the analogy with the properties of a two-dimensional ferromagnetic material. They showed that there is a critical relation between the binding energy and the temperature necessary for transition from an ordered, smooth structure to a disordered, rough structure. Further development of the studies'8" 103 has made it possible to treat surface fluctuations spanning tens of interatomic distances,'1" to propose criteria for the existence of any particular surface structure in terms of entropy of crystallization,'12" 143 to find simple approximate methods for determining the conditions for transition from a smooth to a rough surface115'163 and to generalize the concept of such a transition to binary systems, C17> 125'12e3 to propose and study the possibility of barrier-free motion of a phase boundary,'18" 211 and to begin to analyze the surface structure of ionic crystals.'22· 1 All these studies, which have constituted the bulk of the work on the theory of crystallization,
