Wetting effect and morphological stability in growth of short-period strained multilayers
Zhi-Feng Huang, Daniel Kandel, Rashmi C. Desai
We explore the morphological stability during the growth of strained multilayer structures in a dynamical model which describes the coupling of elastic fields, wetting effect, and…
Stress-driven instability in growing multilayer films
Zhi-Feng Huang, Rashmi C. Desai
We investigate the stress-driven morphological instability of epitaxially growing multilayer films, which are coherent and dislocation-free. We construct a direct elastic analysis,…
Epitaxial growth in dislocation-free strained alloy films: Morphological and compositional instabilities
Zhi-Feng Huang, Rashmi C. Desai
The mechanisms of stability or instability in the strained alloy film growth are of intense current interest to both theorists and experimentalists. We consider dislocation-free, c…
Instability and decomposition on the surface of strained alloy films
Zhi-Feng Huang, Rashmi C. Desai
A continuum dynamical model is developed to determine the morphological and compositional instabilities on the free surface of heteroepitaxial alloy films in the absence of growth.…
Steady-states and kinetics of ordering in bus-route models: connection with the Nagel-Schreckenberg model
Debashish Chowdhury, Rashmi C. Desai
A Bus Route Model (BRM) can be defined on a one-dimensional lattice, where buses are represented by "particles" that are driven forward from one site to the next with each site rep…
Kinetics of phase ordering on curved surfaces
Oliver Schoenborn, Rashmi C. Desai
An interface description and numerical simulations of model A kinetics are used for the first time to investigate the intra-surface kinetics of phase ordering on corrugated surface…
