Complex surface patterning in homo- and heteroepitaxial contexts: (simultaneous) step bunching and step meandering

Vassil Ivanov, Vesselin Tonchev, Marta A. Chabowska +2

We confront a meso-scale continuum model, archetypical for the heteroepitaxial context, with an atomistic Vicinal Cellular Automaton (VicCA), built as a homoepitaxial counterpart,…

Engineering 2D Surface Patterns with the VicCa Model

Marta A. Chabowska, Magdalena A. Załuska-Kotur

We employed the VicCA model to investigate the influence of step-edge potential on nucleation and pattern formation, aiming to gain deeper insights into island formation and growth…

Step meandering: The balance between the potential well and the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier

Marta A. Chabowska, Hristina Popova, Magdalena A. Załuska-Kotur

This study presents a comprehensive and innovative exploration of how the surface potential energy landscape influences meander formation. Using the Vicinal Cellular Automaton mode…

Surface Patterns Shaped by Additives in Crystals

M. A. Chabowska, M. A. Załuska-Kotur

One technique for creating semiconductor crystals with new, desired properties involves replacing some atoms in the crystal lattice with additives - atoms of a different type. This…

Diffusion-Dependent Pattern Formation on Crystal Surfaces

Marta Anna Chabowska, Magdalena A. Załuska-Kotur

The growth of a crystal is usually determined by its surface. Many factors influence the growth dynamics. Energy barriers associated with the presence of steps most often decide ab…

Predicted universality class of step bunching found on DC-heated Si(111) surfaces

Alexey Kozlov, Alexander Samardak, Nikolay Chernousov +4

Concerted experimental and numerical studies of step bunching on vicinal crystal surfaces resulting from step-down electromigration of partially charged adatoms, confirmed the theo…
