Abstract

Evolution of composition patterns in the annealed, single-crystal surface alloy film is considered in the presence of the spinodal decomposition, the compositional stress and the diffusion anisotropy. While the former two effects contribute to overall phase separation, the anisotropy, correlated with the surface crystallographic orientation, guides the in-plane formation and orientation of a pattern. The impacts of the anisotropy parameters on patterns are systematically computed for [110], [100], and [111]-oriented fcc cubic alloy surfaces.
