Step-edge instability during epitaxial growth of graphene from SiC(0001)
Valery Borovikov, Andrew Zangwill
The unique electronic properties of graphene offer the possibility that it could replace silicon when microelectronics evolves to nanoelectronics. Graphene grown epitaxially on sil…
Step bunching of vicinal 6H-SiC{0001} surfaces
Valery Borovikov, Andrew Zangwill
We use kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to understand growth- and etching-induced step bunching of 6H-SiC{0001} vicinal surfaces oriented towards [1-100] and [11-20]. By taking acco…
Regimes of Precursor-Mediated Epitaxial Growth
A. Zangwill, D. D. Vvedensky
A discussion of epitaxial growth is presented for those situations (OMVPE, CBE, ALE, MOMBE, GSMBE, etc.) when the kinetics of surface processes associated with molecular precursors…
Adiabatic Domain Wall Motion and Landau-Lifshitz Damping
M. D. Stiles, W. M. Saslow, M. J. Donahue +1
Recent theory and measurements of the velocity of current-driven domain walls in magnetic nanowires have re-opened the unresolved question of whether Landau-Lifshitz damping or Gil…
Spin Transfer Torque for Continuously Variable Magnetization
Jiang Xiao, A. Zangwill, M. D. Stiles
We report quantum and semi-classical calculations of spin current and spin-transfer torque in a free-electron Stoner model for systems where the magnetization varies continuously i…
Boltzmann Test of Slonczewski's Theory of Spin Transfer Torque
Jiang Xiao, A. Zangwill, M. D. Stiles
We use a matrix Boltzmann equation formalism to test the accuracy of Slonczewski's theory of spin-transfer torque in thin-film heterostructures where a non-magnetic spacer layer se…
