Growth Anisotropy and Pattern Formation in Metal Epitaxy

Kinetic Surface Roughening and Pattern Formation in Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Nucleation and Growth in Metal-on-metal Epitaxy : the Influence of Strain and Surface Reconstruction

The objective of this thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of strain effects in metal epitaxial growth. On the one hand, strain can induce surface reconstructions, which have a strong impact on the growth kinetics. On the other hand, for lattice mismatched systems, strain is always present within the epitaxial film. To attack these problems, measurements employing variable temperat...

Low-temperature formation of metal/molecular-beam epitaxy

We report soft x-ray photoemission studies of metal/molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE)GaAs(lOO) interfaces formed at low temperature. Our results indicate that rectifying barrier heights are proportional to the metal work function in accordance with Schottky's original description of metal-semiconductor contacts. These results confirm the predictions of a selfconsistent model of metal-semiconductor i...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Growth factors and pattern formation.

Growth and pattern formation occur simultaneously in many epimorphic fields and it has been suggested that specification of positional information is somehow linked to cell division. It is possible, therefore, that boundary regions responsible for the specification of positional information produce cell growth factors. In this paper I review the properties of some known growth factors, describe...
