Spiral Surface Growth Without Desorption
Spiral surface growth is well understood in the limit where the step motion is controlled by the local supersaturation of adatoms near the spiral ridge. In epitaxial thin-film growth, however, spirals can form in a step-flow regime where desorption of adatoms is negligible and the ridge dynamics is governed by the non-local diffusion field of adatoms on the whole surface. We investigate this li...
متن کاملSpiral cracks without twisting
A fascinating class of patterns, often encountered in nature as wiggling cracks on rocks, dried out fields and tectonic plates, is produced by the fracture of solids 1. Here we report the observation and modeling of an unusual type of patterns consisting of spiral cracks within fragments of a thin layer of drying precipitate. We find that this symmetry-breaking cracking mode arises naturally no...
متن کاملHigh-energy Cyclotrons without Spiral
This paper explores the possibility of reaching high energies in isochronous ring cyclotrons with radial sectors by using negative valley fields to increase the magnetic flutter. A simple model was used to generate field maps for 4-GeV and 13-GeV proton rings, whose orbit properties were then studied using the CYCLOPS equilibrium orbit code. Field maps were also generated for two FFAG designs (...
متن کاملSpiral crystal growth
We numerically study the spiral mode of crystal growth using a theory developed by Burton, Cabrera and Frank using a level set method. This method is novel in that it can handle not only closed curves but open curves as well. We use our method to compute interacting spirals and make estimates of growth rates. We also propose a possible coarsening mechanism for a large number of interacting spir...
متن کاملsurface: implications for the H2 desorption mechanism
The adsorption of atomic hydrogen on the reconstructed Si ( lOO)-2 x I surface is studied using embedded Si clusters as models of an extended Si surface. Analytic gradients of generalized valence bond (GVB) wavefunctions are used to predict equilibrium structures and harmonic vibrational frequencies; the correlation-consistent configuration interaction (CCCI) method is used to calculate heats o...
