3 1 Ja n 20 02 Novel continuum modeling of crystal surface evolution
We propose a novel approach to continuum modeling of the dynamics of crystal surfaces. Our model follows the evolution of an ensemble of step configurations, which are consistent with the macroscopic surface profile. Contrary to the usual approach where the continuum limit is achieved when typical surface features consist of many steps, our continuum limit is approached when the number of step ...
متن کاملContinuum Descriptions of Crystal Surface Evolution
It is well known that liquid surfaces evolve in shape due to the effect of surface tension, which drives configurations towards lower energy. The breakup of an initially cylindrical fluid thread into spherical droplets, first quantified experimentally by Plateau and analyzed by Rayleigh, is a popular and illustrative example. Solid surfaces, in particular surfaces of crystals, also evolve accor...

متن کاملContinuum Elasticity Modeling Of Nanostructure Evolution In Strained Film Epitaxy
Adviser Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Modeling the quantum dot formation in the language of mathematics inspired me during last six years with the help of various resources. It is my pleasure to appreciate all the people who pushed me to my limits to complete my thesis the level I expect. My research adviser, Prof. Zhi-Feng Huang is the guiding factor for all my research work and his continuous support,...
متن کاملModeling of Oscillatory Driven Surface Evolution
A continuum (Mullins-type) model is formulated for the isotropic evolution of a solid surface on which the mass transport occurs by oscillatory surface diffusion. The time-space oscillations of diffusivity are assumed to be induced by external source(s); a number of possible sources, different in their physical nature has been suggested in [1]. The particular driving mechanism assumed here is l...
