Kinetic roughening of the (001) singular surface during steady crystal growth is studied on
the basis of a lattice model using the Monte Carlo method. At a sufficiently low temperature …

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 driving force dependence of the surface velocity and the average height of faceted
merged steps, the terrace-surface slope, and the elementary step velocity are studied using …

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 …

The crossover from a Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) rough surface to a Kardar–
Parisi–Zhang (KPZ) rough surface on a vicinal surface is studied using the Monte Carlo …

A Wulff figure—the polar graph of the surface tension of a crystal—with a discontinuity was
calculated by applying the density matrix renormalization group method to the p-RSOS …

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 …

It is well known that elastic effects can cause surface instability. In this paper, we analyze a
one-dimensional discrete system which can reveal pattern formation mechanism resembling …

Bunching of steps at the surface of growing crystals can be induced by both directions of the
driving force: step up and step down. The processes happen in different adatom …
