Physics of crystal growth
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the morphology of a crystal surface and the equilibrium crystal shape, including growth and dissolution of a planar front and growth roughness at long length scales in linear approximation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Order as an effect of disorder
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized frustrated Ising model on a two-dimensional lattice is considered and the effect of dilution on this model is investigated, and long range order is restored in the dilute model under certain conditions involving concentration, temperature and interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuum models of crystal growth from atomic beams with and without desorption
TL;DR: In this article, a pseudo-diffusion model was proposed to describe crystal growth from atom beams on very long lengthscales by the Kardar-parisi-Zhang equation, but should be corrected for shorter length-scales where surface diffusion is the dominant mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth with Surface Diffusion
Dietrich E. Wolf,Jacques Villain +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple growth model is investigated where particles are deposited onto a substrate randomly and subsequently relax into a position nearby where the binding is strongest, and a scaling relation 2ξ = z − d + 1 is proposed to be valid for a large class of growth models relevant for molecular beam epitaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spin glass with non-random interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of magnetic systems with competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic inter-actions are investigated and a few exact results are obtained; the possibility of exact solutions comes from the fact that the distribution of ferro-and antiferromeagnetic bonds is assumed to obey certain rules, instead of being completely random.
