Different patterns can be created on the surface of growing crystals, among which the step
bunches and/or step meanders are two of the most studied. The Ehrlich–Schwoebel effect at …

We report the observation of bunching of monoatomic steps on vicinal W (110) surfaces
induced by step-up or step-down currents across the steps. Measurements reveal that the …

The effect of step–step exclusion on growing vicinal surfaces destabilized by a step-up (SU)
or step-down (SD) driving force is extensively studied in diffusion-limited (DL) and kinetics …

We report results from an experimental and modeling study of the far-from-equilibrium
electrodeposition of Ni–Cu alloys by changing systematically the current density with focus …

We propose an integrated modeling approach to the fundamental problem of vicinal crystal
surfaces destabilized by step-down (SD) and step-up (SU) currents with focus on both the …

The growth of a crystal is usually determined by its surface. Many factors influence the
growth dynamics. Energy barriers associated with the presence of steps most often decide …

We devise a new 1D atomistic scale model of vicinal growth based on Cellular Automaton.
In it the step motion is realized by executing the automaton rule prescribing how adatoms …

The bunching of steps at the surface of growing and sublimating crystals can be induced by
both directions of the electromigration force acting on the adatoms, step-up and step-down …

One technique for creating semiconductor crystals with new, desired properties involves
replacing some atoms in the crystal lattice with additives-atoms of a different type. This …

This study presents a comprehensive and innovative exploration of how the surface
potential energy landscape influences meander formation. Using the Vicinal Cellular …
