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…
Configurational Continuum modelling of crystalline surface evolution
Navot Israeli, Daniel Kandel
We propose a novel approach to continuum modelling of dynamics of crystal surfaces. Our model follows the evolution of an ensemble of step configurations, which are consistent with…
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…
Wetting effect and morphological stability in growth of short-period strained multilayers
Zhi-Feng Huang, Daniel Kandel, Rashmi C. Desai
We explore the morphological stability during the growth of strained multilayer structures in a dynamical model which describes the coupling of elastic fields, wetting effect, and…
The formation, ripening and stability of epitaxially strained island arrays
Helen R. Eisenberg, Daniel Kandel
We study the formation and evolution of coherent islands on lattice mismatched epitaxially strained films. Faceted islands form in films with aniostropic surface tension. Under ann…
Comment on "Nonclassical Smoothening of Nanoscale Surface Corrugations"
Navot Israeli, Daniel Kandel
It is shown that the experimentally observed inverse linear decay of surface corrugations in Si(001) (Erlebacher et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5800 (2000)) is due to the two dimensi…
