From atoms to steps: The microscopic origins of crystal evolution
Paul N. Patrone, T. L. Einstein, Dionisios Margetis
The BCF theory of crystal growth has been successful in describing a wide range of phenomena in surface physics. Typical crystal surfaces are slightly misoriented with respect to a…
Equilibrium Shape of Crystals
Theodore L. Einstein
This chapter discusses the equilibrium crystal shape (ECS) from a physical perspective, beginning with a historical introduction to the Wulff theorem. It takes advantage of excelle…
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…
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…
Interacting Steps With Finite-Range Interactions: Analytical Approximation and Numerical Results
Diego Felipe Jaramillo, Gabriel Téllez, Diego Luis González +1
We calculate an analytical expression for the terrace-width distribution for an interacting step system with nearest and next nearest neighbor interactions. Our model is der…
