Growth, Structure and Pattern Formation for Thin Films
An epitaxial thin film consists of layers of atoms whose lattice properties are determined by those of the underlying substrate. This paper reviews mathematical modeling, analysis and simulation of growth, structure and pattern formation for epitaxial systems, using an island dynamics/level set method for growth and a lattice statics model for strain. Epitaxial growth involves physics on both a...
متن کاملGrowth and Pattern Formation for Thin Films
Epitaxy is the growth of a thin film by attachment to an existing substrate in which the crystalline properties of the film are determined by those of the substrate. In heteroepitaxy, the substrate and film are of different materials, and the resulting mismatch between lattice constants can introduce stress into the system. We have developed an island dynamics model for epitaxial growth that is...
متن کاملPattern Formation in Magnetic Thin Films: Analysis and Numerics
This thesis is concerned with the study of a class of variational problems arising in the context of ferromagnetism. More precisely, it aims at providing a numerical and analytical background to the study of hard magnetic thin films with perpendicular anisotropy. Magnetic thin films are sheets of magnetic materials with thicknesses of a few micrometers down to a few nanometers used mainly in el...
متن کاملDynamics and Pattern Formation in Thin Polymer Films
This article describes some recent research in the physics of thin polymer films. The work discussed is carried out in three groups studying experimental polymer physics at the University of Waterloo, the University of Guelph and at McMaster University. The research currently conducted in these groups spans a broad range of thin film polymer physics, ranging from dynamics to self-assembly to ph...
