Stability and Kinetics of Step Motion on Crystal Surfaces
Fong Liu, H. Metiu
The kinetics of monoatomic steps in diffusion-controlled crystal growth and evaporation processes are investigated analytically using a Green's function approach. Integro-different…

Growth Kinetics in Systems with Local Symmetry
Fong Liu
The phase transition kinetics of Ising gauge models are investigated. Despite the absence of a local order parameter, relevant topological excitations that control the ordering kin…

Dynamics of Phase Separation of Crystal Surfaces
Fong Liu, H. Metiu
We investigate the dynamical evolution of a thermodynamically unstable crystal surface into a hill-and-valley structure. We demonstrate that, for quasi one-dimensional ordering, th…
