We consider surface diffusion of a single particle, which performs site-to-site under-barrier hopping, fulfils intrasite motion between the ground and the first excited states within a quantum well, and interacts with surface phonons. On…

An extension of the Burton-Cabrera-Frank model [Phil. Trans. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 243, 299 (1951)] including diffusion along steps and entropic step-step interaction is introduced. This extended model is successfully applied to simulate…

Extensive numerical simulation are reported for the structure and dynamics of large clusters on metal(100) surfaces. Different types of perimeter hopping processes makes center-of-mass of the cluster to follow a a random walk trajectory.…

A clear understanding of the dynamic behavior of metals is critical for developing superior structural materials as well as for improving material processing techniques such as cold spray and shot peening. Using a high velocity (from 120…

Dislocation climb mobilities, assuming vacancy bulk diffusion, are derived and implemented in dislocation dynamics simulations to study the coarsening of vacancy prismatic loops in fcc metals. When loops cannot glide, the comparison of the…

We derive the equations that describe adsorption of diffusing particles onto a surface followed by additional surface kinetic steps before being transported across the interface. Multistage surface kinetics occurs during membrane protein…

The peridynamic model of a solid does not involve spatial gradients of the displacement field and is therefore well suited for studying defect propagation. Here, bond-based peridynamic theory is used to study the equilibrium and steady…

The dynamic effects, such as the steering and the screening effects during deposition, on an epitaxial growth (Cu/Cu(001)), is studied by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation that incorporates molecular dynamic simulation to rigorously take the…

We have developed a continuum model that explains the complex surface shapes observed in epitaxial regrowth on micron scale gratings. This model describes the dependence of the surface morphology on film thickness and growth temperature in…

We analyze the diffusive motion of kink solitons governed by the thermal sine-Gordon equation. We analytically calculate the correlation function of the position of the kink center as well as the diffusion coefficient, both up to…

We employed the VicCA model to investigate the influence of step-edge potential on nucleation and pattern formation, aiming to gain deeper insights into island formation and growth. Our study explores fractal structures governed by general…

In this paper we develop a model to describe the diffusion process in a porous medium. For the observed decrease in current yield, we propose other causes than difference in diffusivity, which we consider unaltered by the porous medium. The…

Here we present a structural study of pentacene (Pn) thin films on vicinal Ag(111) surfaces by He atom diffraction measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations supplemented with van der Waals (vdW) interactions. Our He atom…

We use new equations for the interstitial impurity diffusion fluxes under strain to study impurity atom redistribution in the vicinity of dislocations. Two levels of simulation are applied. The first one is evaluation of coefficients that…

The kinetics of the deposition of colloidal particles onto a solid surface is analytically studied. We take into account both the diffusion of particles from the bulk as well as the geometrical aspects of the layer of adsorbed particles. We…

Diffusion is the underlying mechanism for many complicated materials phenomena, and understanding it is basic to the discovery of novel materials with desired physical and mechanical properties. Certain groups of solid phases, such as the…

A discrete model describing defects in crystal lattices and having the standard linear anisotropic elasticity as its continuum limit is proposed. The main ingredients entering the model are the elastic stiffness constants of the material…

The elastic interaction between kinks (and antikinks) within domain walls plays a pivotal role in shaping the domain structure, and their dynamics. In bulk materials, kinks interact as elastic monopoles, dependent on the distance between…

Preliminary results of extensive numerical experiments on a simple model specified by the smooth canonical strongly chaotic 2D-map with global virtual invariant curves (VICs) are presented and discussed. We focus on the statistics of the…

Below the roughening transition, crystal surfaces exhibit nanoscale line defects, steps, that move by exchanging atoms with their environment. In homoepitaxy, we analytically show how the motion of a step train in vacuum under strong…
