Instability and wavelength selection during step flow growth of metal surfaces vicinal to fcc(001)
M. Rusanen, I. T. Koponen, J. Heinonen +1
We study the onset and development of ledge instabilities during growth of vicinal metal surfaces using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. We observe the formation of periodic patter…

Island diffusion on metal fcc(100) surfaces
J. Heinonen, I. Koponen, J. Merikoski +1
We present Monte Carlo simulations for the size and temperature dependence of the diffusion coefficient of adatom islands on the Cu(100) surface. We show that the scaling exponent…

A Simple Model for Anisotropic Step Growth
J. Heinonen, I. Bukharev, T. Ala-Nissila +1
We consider a simple model for the growth of isolated steps on a vicinal crystal surface. It incorporates diffusion and drift of adatoms on the terrace, and strong step and kink ed…
