Particle currents and the distribution of terrace sizes in unstable epitaxial growth
M. Biehl, M. Ahr, M. Kinne +2
A solid-on-solid model of epitaxial growth in 1+1 dimensions is investigated in which slope dependent upward and downward particle currents compete on the surface. The microscopic…
Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier controlled slope selection in epitaxial growth
S. Schinzer, S. Köhler, G. Reents
We examine the step dynamics in a 1+1 dimensional model of epitaxial growth based on the BCF-theory. The model takes analytically into account the diffusion of adatoms, an incorpor…
Unconventional MBE Strategies from Computer Simulations for Optimized Growth Conditions
S. Schinzer, M. Sokolowski, M. Biehl +1
We investigate the influence of step edge diffusion (SED) and desorption on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) using kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of the solid-on-solid (SOS) model. Ba…
Evaporation and Step Edge Diffusion in MBE
S. Schinzer, M. Sokolowski, M. Biehl +1
Using kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of a Solid-on-Solid model we investigate the influence of step edge diffusion (SED) and evaporation on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Based on…
The role of step edge diffusion in epitaxial crystal growth
S. Schinzer, M. Kinne, M. Biehl +1
The role of step edge diffusion (SED) in epitaxial growth is investigated. To this end we revisit and extend a recently introduced simple cubic solid-on-solid model, which exhibits…
A simple model of epitaxial growth
M. Biehl, W. Kinzel, S. Schinzer
A discrete solid-on-solid model of epitaxial growth is introduced which, in a simple manner, takes into account the effect of an Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier at step edges as well as…
