Instabilities in crystal growth by atomic or molecular beams
TLDR
In this paper, a review of the most frequent instabilities in ballistic growth is presented, which are mostly kinetic (when the desired state cannot be reached because of a lack of time) or thermodynamic (when a desired state is unstable).About:

Multilayer growth of Agð 110 Þ: a simulation study
TL;DR: The multilayer growth of Ag/Ag(1 1 0) is studied by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations based on model in the full fcc geometry with realistic activation barriers, able to describe both the island rotation in the submonolayer regime and the ripple rotation in multilayers growth, in very good quantitative agreement with the experiments.

Thomas Tiedje,Anders Ballestad +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the surface shape evolution during epitaxial growth of GaAs with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of a solid-on-solid model and numerical solutions of a continuum growth equation derived from an adatom transport equation is presented.

Coexistence of meandering and bunching of steps on vicinal surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, water adsorption on the hydroxylated alpha-quartz (0001) surface at various coverages was studied using ab initio total energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulations within density functional theory.
Self-assembled Metallic Dots and Antidots: Epitaxial Co on Ru(0001)
TL;DR: In this paper, a metal-on-metal growth mode was observed where three-dimensional islands (dots) or a flat film network with holes (antidots) in truncated pyramidal shapes exist below or above ∼ 20 nm, respectively.

Enhanced radiation tolerance of nanochannel V films through defects release
Hongxiu Zhang,Feng Ren,Yongqiang Wang,Mengqing Hong,Xiangheng Xiao,Dan Liu,Wenjing Qin,Xudong Zheng,Yichao Liu,Changzhong Jiang +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that He + ion irradiation can increase the density of small bubbles in the free surfaces of the nanochannels, which greatly reduces the concentration of defects in material and increases the radiation tolerance.

The kinetics of precipitation from supersaturated solid solutions
I.M. Lifshitz,V.V. Slyozov +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis is made of the process whereby diffusion effects can cause the precipitation of grains of a second phase in a supersaturated solid solution, and the kinetics of this type of grain growth are examined in detail.
