متن کاملA Coupled Equations Model for Epitaxial Growth on Textured Surfaces
We have developed a coupled equations continuum model that explains the complex surface shapes observed in epitaxial regrowth on micron scale gratings. This model describes the dependence of the surface morphology on film thickness and growth temperature in terms of a few simple atomic scale processes including adatom diffusion, step-edge attachment and detachment, and a net downhill migration ...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of wetting on structured surfaces.
We study the dynamics and equilibrium profile shapes of contact lines for wetting in the case of a spatially inhomogeneous solid wall with stripe defects. Using a phase-field model with conserved dynamics, we first numerically determine the contact line behavior in the case of a stripe defect of varying widths. For narrow defects, we find that the maximum distortion of the contact line and the ...
متن کاملTransient regimes and crossover for epitaxial surfaces.
We apply a formalism for deriving stochastic continuum equations associated with lattice models to obtain equations governing the transient regimes of epitaxial growth for various experimental scenarios and growth conditions. The first step of our methodology is the systematic transformation of the lattice model into a regularized stochastic equation of motion that provides initial conditions f...
متن کاملKinetics of Submonolayer Epitaxial Growth
Molecular beam epitaxy is an important method for growing thinlms and nanostructures. One of the scienti c challenges is to understand the fundamental processes that control the evolution of thin lm structure and morphology. The results of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations carried out to study the dependence of the submonolayer scaled island-size distribution on the critical island-size are prese...
