Vvedensky (Imperial College, UK | | Abstract: | 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 of realistic systems show that the parameter R is a characteristic of the growth conditions, and generally lies in the range 0.2-0.7. The constancy of R in late-stage coarsening yields a scaling relation between the coarsening exponent 1/z and the mound height exponent eta which, in the case of saturated mound slope, gives eta = 1/z = 1/4. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/9703056 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
