The formation and precise manipulation of nanoscale features by controlling macroscopic forces is essential to advancing nanotechnology. Toward this end, we report here a …
We report results of a systematic study on the complex oscillatory current-driven dynamics of single-layer homoepitaxial islands on crystalline substrate surfaces and the dependence of …
This paper explores the interplay of surface and bulk elasticity on the evolution of surface relief within nanosized thin-film coatings, driven by the relaxation of misfit stresses through …
We report a systematic study of complex pattern formation resulting from the driven dynamics of single-layer homoepitaxial islands on surfaces of face-centered-cubic (fcc) …
Numerical simulations of the surface morphological evolution of uniaxially stressed elastic crystalline solids have demonstrated that in addition to Asaro-Tiller/Grinfeld (surface …
We examine the surface morphological stability of thermally conducting crystalline elastic solids in uniaxial tension under the action of a temperature gradient. We use linear stability …
Physical nanopatterning based on a precise control of macroscopic forcing is an essential tool of nanoscale science and technology. Using an externally applied electric field as the …
We analyze the surface morphological stability of bulk conducting face-centered cubic (fcc) crystalline solids in uniaxial tension under the simultaneous action of an electric field and a …
We report a theoretical analysis on the surface morphological stability of a coherently strained thin film that has been grown epitaxially on a deformable substrate and is …
