Effect of the Surface Diffusion and Evaporation of Impurities on Step Bunching Induced by Impurities
Masahide Sato
We consider a vicinal face, where atoms and impurities impinge and evaporate to a vapor phase, to study how the surface diffusion and evaporation of impurities affect step bunching…
Growth Law of Bunch Size in Step Bunching Induced by Flow in Solution
Masahide Sato
By carrying out Monte Carlo simulations,we study step bunching during solution growth. For simplicity, we consider a square lattice, which represents a diffusion field in a solutio…
Effect of Two-Dimensionality on Step Bunching Induced by the Drift of Adatoms
Masahide Sato, Makio Uwaha, Yukio Hirose
We study the effect of two-dimensionality on step bunching induced by drift of adatoms. When anisotropy of the diffusion coefficient changes alternately on consecutive terraces lik…
Drift-Induced Step Instabilities Due to the Gap in the Diffusion Coefficient
Masahide Sato, Makio Uwaha, Yukio Saito
On a Si(111) vicinal face near the structural transition temperature, the structure and the structure coexist in a terrace: the structure is…
Step Bunching with Alternation of Structural Parameters
Masahide Sato, Makio Uwaha, Tomonori Mori +1
By taking account of the alternation of structural parameters, we study bunching of impermeable steps induced by drift of adatoms on a vicinal face of Si(001). With the alternation…
Step Repulsion Mediates Wandering on a Si(001) Vicinal Face
M. Sato, M. Uwaha, Y. Saito +1
With a Si(001) vicinal surface in mind, we study step wandering instability on a vicinal surface with an anisotropic surface diffusion whose orientation dependence alternates on ea…
