Connecting systems with short and long ranged interactions: local molecular field theory for ionic fluids
Yng-gwei Chen, Charanbir Kaur, John D. Weeks
Structural and thermodynamic properties of ionic fluids are related to those of a simpler ``mimic'' system with short ranged intermolecular interactions in a spatially varying effe…
From Discrete Hopping to Continuum Modeling on Vicinal Surfaces with Applications to Si(001) Electromigration
T. Zhao, J. D. Weeks, D. Kandel
Coarse-grained modeling of dynamics on vicinal surfaces concentrates on the diffusion of adatoms on terraces with boundary conditions at sharp steps, as first studied by Burton, Ca…
A Two-Region Diffusion Model for Current-Induced Instabilities of Step Patterns on Vicinal Si(111) Surfaces
T. Zhao, J. D. Weeks
We study current-induced step bunching and wandering instabilities with subsequent pattern formations on vicinal surfaces. A novel two-region diffusion model is developed, where we…
A unified treatment of current-induced instabilities on Si surfaces
Tong Zhao, John D. Weeks, Daniel Kandel
We introduce a simple two region model where the diffusion constant in a small region around each step on a vicinal surface can differ from that found on the terraces. Steady state…
