Bunching instability and asymptotic properties in epitaxial growth with elasticity effects: continuum model

Tao Luo, Yang Xiang, Nung Kwan Yip

We study the continuum epitaxial model for elastic interacting atomic steps on vicinal surfaces proposed by Xiang and E (Xiang, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 63:241-258, 2002; Xiang and E, P…
