A continuous non-linear shadowing model of columnar growth

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

We propose the first continuous model with long range screening (shadowing) that described columnar growth in one space dimension, as observed in plasma sputter deposition. It is based on a new continuous partial derivative equation with non-linear diffusion and where the shadowing effects apply on all the different processes.
