A continuous non-linear shadowing model of columnar growth
arXiv:0711.3718 · doi:10.1088/0022-3727/41/2/022003
Abstract
We propose the first continuous model with long range screening (shadowing) that described columnar growth in one space dimension, as observed in plasma sputter deposition. It is based on a new continuous partial derivative equation with non-linear diffusion and where the shadowing effects apply on all the different processes.
