3 1 Ja n 20 02 Novel continuum modeling of crystal surface evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
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 configurations of the ensemble is very large. The model can handle singular surface structures such as corners and facets. It has a clear computational advantage over discrete models.

A formalism to evaluate the resonant states produced by two particles moving outside a closed shell core is presented. The two particle states are calculated by using a single particle representation consisting of bound states, Gamow resonances and scattering states in the complex energy plane (Berggren representation). Two representative cases are analysed corresponding to whether the Fermi le...

For manifolds with freely generated first homology, we characterize gerbes with connection as functors on a certain surface cobordism category. This allows us to relate gerbes with connection to Turaev's 1+1-dimensional homotopy quantum field theories, and we show that flat gerbes on such spaces as above are the same as a specific class of rank one homotopy quantum field theories.
