Morphological evolution during epitaxial thin film growth: Formation of 2D islands and 3D mounds
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe submonolayer nucleation and growth of two-dimensional islands during deposition and show that the traditional mean-field treatment is quite successful in capturing the behavior of mean island densities, but it fails to predict island size distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in pulsed-laser deposition of complex oxides
Hans M. Christen,Gyula Eres +1 more
TL;DR: Detailed growth kinetics results are discussed, which illustrate that 'true' layer-by-layer (LBL) growth can only be approached, not fully met, even though many characterization techniques reveal interfaces with unexpected sharpness.
Journal ArticleDOI
A pedestrian's view on interacting particle systems, KPZ universality and random matrices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a discussion of the one-dimensional simple exclusion process as a paradigmatic nonequilibrium interacting particle system, and the phenomenological Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation and associated universality conjecture for surface fluctuations in growth models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of step-edge barriers in organic thin-film growth.
Gregor Hlawacek,Peter Puschnig,Paul Frank,Adolf Winkler,Claudia Ambrosch-Draxl,Christian Teichert +5 more
TL;DR: Using methods established in inorganic epitaxy, it is demonstrated the existence of an additional barrier for step-edge crossing—the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier, confirmed by transition state theory, which revealed a bending of the molecule at the step edge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic–Organic Heterostructures: Concepts and Applications
TL;DR: While most examples are related to small-molecule organic semiconductors, many of the ideas can be applied to other systems and comment on implications for device applications.
