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…
