Kinetic modelling of epitaxial film growth with up- and downward step barriers
F. F. Leal, T. J. Oliveira, S. C. Ferreira
The formation of three-dimensional structures during the epitaxial growth of films is associated to the reflection of diffusing particles in descending terraces due to the presence…
Scaling laws in the diffusion limited aggregation of persistent random walkers
Isadora R. Nogueira, Sidiney G. Alves, Silvio C. Ferreira
We investigate the diffusion limited aggregation of particles executing persistent random walks. The scaling properties of both random walks and large aggregates are presented. The…
Quasi-stationary simulations of the contact process on quenched networks
Silvio C. Ferreira, Ronan S. Ferreira, Claudio Castellano +1
We present high-accuracy quasi-stationary (QS) simulations of the contact process in quenched networks, built using the configuration model with both structural and natural cutoffs…
Modelling of epitaxial film growth with a Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier dependent on the step height
F. F. Leal, S. C. Ferreira, S. O. Ferreira
The formation of mounded surfaces in epitaxial growth is attributed to the presence of barriers against interlayer diffusion in the terrace edges, known as Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) b…
Quasi-stationary analysis of the contact process on annealed scale-free networks
Silvio C. Ferreira, Ronan S. Ferreira, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras
We present an analysis of the quasi-stationary (QS) state of the contact process (CP) on annealed scale-free networks using a mapping of the CP dynamics in a one-step processes and…
Addendum to "Anomalous scaling and super-roughness in the growth of CdTe polycrystalline films"
Fábio S. Nascimento, Angélica S. Mata, Silvio C. Ferreira +1
The scaling of the growth of CdTe films on glass substrates was investigated by Mata \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{78}, 115305 (2008)]. Part of the analysis consisted of th…
