چکیده

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 the macroscopic surface profile. Contrary to the usual approach where the continuum limit is achieved when typical surface features consist of many steps, our continuum limit is approached when the number of step configurations of the ensemble is very large. The model is capable of handling singular surface structures such as corners and facets and has a clear computational advantage over discrete models.

A fourth order nonlinear evolution equation is derived from a microscopic model for surface diffusion, namely, the continuum solid-on-solid model. We use the method developed by Varadhan for the computation of the hydrodynamic scaling limit of nongradient models. What distinguishes our model from other models discussed so far is the presence of two conservation laws for the dynamics in a nonper...

On the Investigation of Sol-Gel TiO2 Nanostructured Films Applied on Windshields Pre-Coated with SiO2 Layer by Dip-Coating Method

TiO2-SiO2 photocatalytic nanostructure film on windshield for self-cleaning purposes was prepared via sol–gel dip-coating method. TiO2 films were prepared on automotive glass pre-coated with a SiO2 layer by a dip-coating method followed by annealing at 500 °C for 30min. The films were characterized using X-ray diffraction XRD and scanning electron microscopy SEM, FE-SEM techniques. The TiO2-SiO...
