Growth mechanisms of GaN/GaAs nanostructures by droplet epitaxy explained by complementary experiments and simulations

Guy Tsamo, Alla G. Nastovjak, Nataliya L. Shwartz +9

In this work, we present conception and study of gallium nitride (GaN) nanostructures on a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate with (111)A orientation. The nanostructures were design…

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…

How "hot precursors" modify island nucleation: A rate-equations model

Josue R. Morales-Cifuentes, T. L. Einstein, A. Pimpinelli

We propose a novel island nucleation and growth model explicitly including transient (ballistic) mobility of the monomers deposited at rate , assumed to be in a hot precursor st…

Exponent equality for capture-zone scaling in island nucleation: Theory and application to organic films

Alberto Pimpinelli, Levent Tumbek, Adolf Winkler

It is known in thin-film deposition that the density of nucleated clusters varies with the deposition rate as a power law, . The exponent is a function of t…

Dynamical Scaling Implications of Ferrari, Prähofer, and Spohn's Remarkable Spatial Scaling Results for Facet-Edge Fluctuations

T. L. Einstein, Alberto Pimpinelli

Spurred by theoretical predictions from Spohn and coworkers [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 69}, 035102(R) (2004)], we rederived and extended their result heuristically as well as investigated…

Analyzing Capture Zone Distributions (CZD) in Growth: Theory and Applications

T. L. Einstein, Alberto Pimpinelli, Diego Luis González

We have argued that the capture-zone distribution (CZD) in submonolayer growth can be well described by the generalized Wigner distribution (GWD) , where $s…
