Dynamics and ordering of the nucleationless island formation in heteroepitaxy
Jean-Noel Aqua, Thomas Frisch, Alberto Verga
We study the morphological evolution of strained islands in growing crystal films by use of a continuum description including wetting, elasticity and deposition flux. Wetting break…
On the role of step-flow advection during electromigration-induced step bunching
Matthieu Dufay, Thomas Frisch, Jean-Marc Debierre
We propose a one-dimensional model based on the Burton-Cabrera-Frank equations to describe the electromigration-induced step bunching instability on vicinal surfaces. The step drif…
Nonlinear evolution of the step meandering instability of a growing crystal surface
Thomas Frisch, Alberto Verga
The growth of crystal surfaces, under non-equilibrium conditions, involves the displacement of mono-atomic steps by atom diffusion and atom incorporations into steps. The time-evol…
Effect of step stiffness and diffusion anisotropy on the meandering of a growing vicinal surface
Thomas Frisch, Alberto Verga
We study the step meandering instability on a surface characterized by the alternation of terraces with different properties, as in the case of Si(001). The interplay between diffu…
Kinetic step bunching during surface growth
T. Frisch, A. Verga
We study the step bunching kinetic instability in a growing crystal surface characterized by anisotropic diffusion. The instability is due to the interplay between the elastic inte…
Stretching an adsorbed polymer globule
Franck Celestini, Thoma Frisch, Xabier Oyharcabal
Using molecular dynamic simulation, we study the stretching of an adsorbed homopolymer in a poor solvent with one end held at a distance from the substrate. We measure the ve…
