Electromigration-Induced Step Meandering on Vicinal Surfaces: Nonlinear Evolution Equation
Matthieu Dufay, Jean-Marc Debierre, Thomas Frisch
We study the effect of a constant electrical field applied on vicinal surfaces such as the Si surface. An electrical field parallel to the steps induces a meandering instabi…

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…
