Spiral Growth and Step Edge Barriers
A. Redinger, O. Ricken, P. Kuhn +4
The growth of spiral mounds containing a screw dislocation is compared to the growth of wedding cakes by two-dimensional nucleation. Using phase field simulations and homoepitaxial…

Spiral growth, two-dimensional nucleation, and the Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect
Joachim Krug
Frank's prediction of the spiral growth mode in 1949 defined a pivotal moment in the history of crystal growth. In recent decades the topic has received less attention, and instead…

Morphological stability of electromigration-driven vacancy islands
Frank Hausser, Philipp Kuhn, Joachim Krug +1
The electromigration-induced shape evolution of two-dimensional vacancy islands on a crystal surface is studied using a continuum approach. We consider the regime where mass transp…
