Interface collisions with diffusive mass transport
Bastien Marguet, F. D. A. Aarão Reis, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We report on a linear Langevin model that describes the evolution of the roughness of two interfaces that move towards each other and are coupled by a diffusion field. This model a…
Growth at high substrate coverage can decrease the grain boundary roughness of 2D materials
Fabio D. A. Aarão Reis, Bastien Marguet, Olivier Pierre-Louis
Grain boundary roughness can affect electronic and mechanical properties of two-dimensional materials. This roughness depends crucially on the growth process by which the two-dimen…
Crystal growth in confinement
Felix Kohler, Olivier Pierre-Louis, Dag Kristian Dysthe
The growth of crystals confined in porous or cellular materials is ubiquitous in Nature and industry. Confinement affects the formation of biominerals in living organisms, of miner…
Nonlinear wavelength selection in surface faceting under electromigration
Fatima Barakat, Kirsten Martens, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We report on the control of the faceting of crystal surfaces by means of surface electromigration. When electromigration reinforces the faceting instability, we find perpetual coar…
Dewetting of solid films with substrate mediated evaporation
A. Chame, O. Pierre-Louis
The dewetting dynamics of an ultrathin film is studied in the presence of evaporation - or reaction - of adatoms on the substrate. KMC simulations are in good agreement with an ana…
Atomic step motion during the dewetting of ultra-thin films
O. Pierre-Louis, A. Chame, M. Dufay
We report on three key processes involving atomic step motion during the dewetting of thin solid films: (i) the growth of an isolated island nucleated far from a hole, (ii) the spr…
