Morphological Transition: From Meanders to Mound Structures
Marta A. Chabowska, Hristina Popova, Magdalena A. Załuska-Kotur
Mound formation on flat and miscut crystal surfaces exhibits distinct growth behaviors. While mound structures are the predominant feature on flat surfaces, miscut surfaces display…
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,…
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…
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…
Bunch width versus macrostep height: A quantitative study of the effects of step-step repulsion
Hristina Popova, Filip Krzyżewski, Magdalena Załuska-Kotur +1
Bunching of steps at the surface of growing crystals can be induced by both directions of the driving force: step up and step down. The processes happen in different adatom concent…
Unstable dynamics of model vicinal crystal surfaces: Initial and intermediate stages
Filip Krzyżewski, Magdalena A. Załuska-Kotur, Anna Krasteva +2
We approach the old-standing problem of vicinal crystal surfaces destabilized by step-down and step step-up currents from a unified modelling viewpoint with focus on both the initi…
