Re-entrant Layer-by-Layer Etching of GaAs(001)

open access: yes, 1995
We report the first observation of re-entrant layer-by-layer etching based on {\it in situ\/} reflection high-energy electron-diffraction measurements. With AsBr$_3$ used to etch GaAs(001), sustained specular-beam intensity oscillations are seen at high ...

Site determination and thermally assisted tunneling in homogenous nucleation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
A combined low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study on the binding and diffusion of copper monomers, dimers, and trimers adsorbed on Cu(111) is presented.

Reversible Transition Between Thermodynamically Stable Phases with Low Density of Oxygen Vacancies on SrTiO$_3$(110) Surface

open access: yes, 2011
The surface reconstruction of SrTiO$_3$(110) is studied with scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The reversible phase transition between (4$\times$1) and (5$\times$1) is controlled by adjusting the surface ...

Strain-Dependence of Surface Diffusion: Ag on Ag(111) and Pt(111)

open access: yes, 1997
Using density-functional theory with the local-density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation we compute the energy barriers for surface diffusion for Ag on Pt(111), Ag on one monolayer of Ag on Pt(111), and Ag on Ag(111). The diffusion

Island Size Selectivity during 2D Ag Island Coarsening on Ag (111)

open access: yes, 2010
We report on early stages of submonolayer Ag island coarsening on Ag(111) surface at room temperature ($300$ K) carried out using realistic kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations.

Facet Formation in the Negative Quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang Equation

open access: yes, 1998
The quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (QKPZ) equation with negative non-linear term shows a first order pinning-depinning (PD) transition as the driving force $F$ is varied.

Surface diffusion coefficients by thermodynamic integration: Cu on Cu(100)

open access: yes, 1998
The rate of diffusion of a Cu adatom on the Cu(100) surface is calculated using thermodynamic integration within the transition state theory. The results are found to be in excellent agreement with the essentially exact values from molecular-dynamics ...

Logarithmic Clustering in Submonolayer Epitaxial Growth

open access: yes, 1997
We investigate submonolayer epitaxial growth with a fixed monomer flux and irreversible aggregation of adatom islands due to their effective diffusion.

First order phase transition in a 1+1-dimensional nonequilibrium wetting process

open access: yes, 1999
A model for nonequilibrium wetting in 1+1 dimensions is introduced. It comprises adsorption and desorption processes with a dynamics which generically does not obey detailed balance.
