A discrete solid-on-solid model of epitaxial growth is introduced which, in a simple manner, takes into account the effect of an Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier at step edges as well as the local relaxation of incoming particles. Furthermore a…
We study a class of one-dimensional, nonequilibrium, conserved growth equations for both nonconserved and conserved noise statistics using numerical integration. An atomistic version of these growth equations is also studied using…
We demonstrate, using well-established nonequilibrium limited-mobility solid-on-solid growth models, that mound formation in the dynamical surface growth morphology does not necessarily imply the existence of a surface edge diffusion bias…
The energetically driven Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) barrier had been generally accepted as the primary cause of the growth instability in the form of quasi-regular mound-like structures observed on the surface of thin film grown via molecular…
We show that a multiple hit noise reduction technique involving the acceptance of only a fraction of the allowed atomistic deposition events could, by significantly suppressing the formation of high steps and deep grooves, greatly…
The formation of mounded surfaces in epitaxial growth is attributed to the presence of barriers against interlayer diffusion in the terrace edges, known as Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) barriers. We investigate a model for epitaxial growth using a…
We study, using noise reduction techniques, layer by layer epitaxial growth in limited mobility solid-on-solid nonequilibrium surface growth models, which have been introduced in the context of kinetic surface roughening in ideal molecular…
A limited mobility nonequilibrium solid-on-solid dynamical model for kinetic surface growth is introduced as a simple description for the morphological evolution of a growing interface under random vapor deposition and surface diffusion…
In this article we study a model from epitaxial thin-film growth. It was originally introduced as a phenomenological model of growth in the presence of a Schwoebbel barrier, where diffusing particles on a terrace are not allowed to jump…
We examine the step dynamics in a 1+1 dimensional model of epitaxial growth based on the BCF-theory. The model takes analytically into account the diffusion of adatoms, an incorporation mechanism and an Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier at step…
We propose deposition noise to be an important factor in unstable epitaxial growth of thin films. Our analysis yields a geometrical relation H=(RWL)^2 between the typical mound height W, mound size L, and the film thickness H. Simulations…
We demonstrate, using well-established nonequilibrium growth models, that mound formation in the dynamical surface growth morphology does not necessarily imply a surface edge diffusion bias (the Schwoebel barrier) as has been almost…
The formation of three-dimensional structures during the epitaxial growth of films is associated to the reflection of diffusing particles in descending terraces due to the presence of the so-called Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) barrier. We…
In this work, a study of epitaxial growth was carried out by means of wavelets formalism. We showed the existence of a dynamic scaling form in wavelet discriminated linear MBE equation where diffusion and noise are the dominant effects. We…
The paper presents results from kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of kinetic surface roughening using an important and experimentally relevant model of epitaxial growth -- the solid-on-solid model with Arrhenius dynamics. A restriction on…
The role of step edge diffusion (SED) in epitaxial growth is investigated. To this end we revisit and extend a recently introduced simple cubic solid-on-solid model, which exhibits the formation and coarsening of pyramid or mound like…
We report the results of computer simulations of epitaxial growth in the presence of a large Schwoebel barrier on different crystal surfaces: simple cubic(001), bcc(001), simple hexagonal(001) and hcp(001). We find, that mounds coarse by a…
We show by numerical simulations that discretized versions of commonly studied continuum nonlinear growth equations (such as the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and the Lai-Das Sarma equation) and related atomistic models of epitaxial growth…
\emph{Wolf-Villain (WV) model} is a simple model used to study \emph{ideal} molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth by using computer simulations. In this model, an adatom diffuses instantaneously within a finite diffusion length to maximize…
We study statistical scale invariance and dynamic scaling in a simple solid-on-solid 2+1 - dimensional limited mobility discrete model of nonequilibrium surface growth, which we believe should describe the low temperature kinetic roughening…
