Motion of three-dimensional elastic films by anisotropic surface diffusion with curvature regularization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Short time existence for a surface diffusion evolution equation with curvature regularization is proved in the context of epitaxially strained three-dimensional films. This is achieved by implementing a minimizing movement scheme, which is hinged on the H−1-gradient flow structure underpinning the evolution law. Long-time behavior and Liapunov stability in the case of initial data close to a flat configuration are also addressed.

Motion of Elastic Thin Films by Anisotropic Surface Diffusion with Curvature Regularization
Short time existence, uniqueness, and regularity for a surface diffusion evolution equation with curvature regularization are proved in the context of epitaxially strained twodimensional films. This is achieved by using the H−1-gradient flow structure of the evolution law, via De Giorgi’s minimizing movements. This seems to be the first short time existence result for a surface diffusion type g...
متن کاملInterface evolution in three-dimensions with curvature-dependent energy and surface diffusion: interface-controlled evolution, phase transitions, epitaxial growth of elastic films
When the interfacial energy is a nonconvex function of orientation, the anisotropic curvature flow equation becomes backward parabolic. To overcome the instability thus generated, a regularization of the equation that governs the evolution of the interface is needed. In this paper we develop a regularized theory of curvature flow in threedimensions that incorporates surface diffusion and bulk-s...
متن کاملEvolution of Elastic Thin Films with Curvature Regularization via Minimizing Movements
The evolution equation, with curvature regularization, that models the motion of a two-dimensional thin film by evaporation-condensation on a rigid substrate is considered. The film is strained due to the mismatch between the crystalline lattices of the two materials. Here, short time existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solution are established using De Giorgi’s minimizing movements to ...
متن کاملA level set approach to anisotropic flows with curvature regularization
Modeling and simulation of faceting effects on surfaces are topics of growing importance in modern nanotechnology. Such effects pose various theoretical and computational challenges, since they are caused by non-convex surface energies, which lead to ill-posed evolution equations for the surfaces. In order to overcome the ill-posedness, regularization of the energy by a curvature-dependent term...
متن کاملCoarsening of 3D Thin Films under the Influence of Strong Surface Anisotropy, Elastic Stresses
We develop a diffuse interface model to investigate the three dimensional coarsening in thin films. In this model, both strong surface anisotropy with linear Willmore regularization, elastic stresses and deposition are included. The governing equation for the phase field parameter is a sixth order Cahn-Hilliard Equation due to the presence of surface anisotropy and the linear Willmore regulariz...
