Homoepitaxy provides an ideal testing ground for fundamental concepts in film growth. The
rich variety of complex far-from-equilibrium morphologies which can form during deposition …

This paper presents simple models useful in analyzing the growth of nanostructures
obtained by cluster deposition. After a brief survey of applications and experimental …

Growth of thin films from atoms deposited from the gas phase is intrinsically a
nonequilibrium phenomenon governed by a competition between kinetics and …

The current paper presents a state-of-the-art review in the field of interaction of atomic and
molecular clusters with solids. We do not attempt to overview the entire broad field, but …

We review in this article the current theoretical understanding of collective and single
particle diffusion on surfaces and how it relates to the existing experimental data. We begin …

The last two decades of progress in the theory of crystal surfaces in and out of equilibrium is
reviewed. Various instabilities that occur during growth and sublimation, or that are caused …

We have studied the decay of two-dimensional Ag islands on Ag (111) at room temperature
by scanning tunneling microscopy. The results are in accordance with the classical …

The influence of size differences, shape, mass, and persistent motion on phase separation
in binary mixtures has been intensively studied. Here we focus on the exclusive role of …

The diffusion and coarsening of two-dimensional homoepitaxial islands on Cu (100) and Ag
(100) surfaces have been studied at room temperature with time-sequenced scanning …

Fundamental issues of the kinetics of phase separations on surfaces are reviewed with an
emphasis on developments during the period from 1990 to present. Issues covered …
