A discussion of epitaxial growth is presented for those situations (OMVPE, CBE, ALE, MOMBE, GSMBE, etc.) when the kinetics of surface processes associated with molecular precursors may be rate limiting. Emphasis is placed on the…
There are two main universality classes for depinning of elastic interfaces in disordered media: quenched Edwards-Wilkinson (qEW), and quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (qKPZ). The first class is relevant as long as the elastic force between two…
We study the role of the topology of the background space on the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class. To do so, we study the growth of balls on disordered 2D manifolds with random Riemannian metrics, generated by…

We study discrete KPZ growth models deposited on square lattice substrates, whose (average) lateral size enlarges as $L= L_0 + \omega t^{\gamma}$. Our numerical simulations reveal that the competition between the substrate expansion and the…
