Different Regimes in the Ehrlich-Schwoebel Instability
A one-dimensional high-symmetry growing surface in presence of step-edge barriers is studied numerically and analytically, through a discrete /continuous model which neglects thermal detachment from steps. The morphology of the film at different times and/or different sizes of the sample is analyzed in the overall range of possible step-edge barriers: for a small barrier, we have a strong up-do...
متن کاملDetermination of the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier in epitaxial growth of thin films
We demonstrate an approach for determining the “effective” Ehrlich-Schwoebel ES step-edge barrier, an important kinetic constant to control the interlayer mass transport in epitaxial growth of thin films. The approach exploits the rate difference between the growth and/or decay of an adatom and a vacancy twodimensional island, which allows the “effective” ES barrier to be determined uniquely by...
متن کاملInverted Wedding Cake Growth Operated by the Ehrlich-Schwoebel Barrier in Two-Dimensional Nanocrystal Evolution.
Wedding cake growth is a layer-by-layer growth model commonly observed in epitaxial growth of metal films, featured by repeated nucleation of new atomic layers on the topmost surface owing to the confinement of the Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) barrier. Herein, we report an inverted wedding cake growth phenomenon observed in two-dimensional nanostructure evolution. Through a dynamically controlled vap...

according to research, academic self-concept and academic achievement are mutually interdependent. in the present study, the aim was to determine the relationship between the academic self-concept and the academic achievement of students in english as a foreign language and general subjects. the participants were 320 students studying in 4th grade of high school in three cities of noor, nowshah...
High-Order Surface Relaxation vs. the Ehrlich-Schwoebel Effect
We consider a class of continuum models of epitaxial growth of thin films with two competing mechanisms: (1) the surface relaxation described by high-order gradients of the surface profile; and (2) the Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) effect which is the asymmetry in the adatom attachment and detachment to and from atomic steps. Mathematically, these models are gradient-flows of some effective free-energ...
