Surface morphological evolution under the action of external fields is a fascinating topic that
has attracted considerable attention within the surface science community over the past two …

Low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and spin polarized LEEM (SPLEEM) are two
powerful in situ techniques for the study of surfaces, thin films and other surface-supported …

Abstract Fabrication of A III BV nanostructures by droplet epitaxy has many advantages over
other epitaxial techniques. Although various characteristics of the growth by droplet epitaxy …

Thermal gradients in nanomaterials can cause surface mass transport phenomena.
However, the atomic fluxes are challenging to quantify and the underlying atomic …

We study the droplet epitaxy of indium on the As‐stabilized GaAs (001) substrate using the
analytical theory of nucleation combined with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The …

We have investigated Si (111) surface morphology transformations during high-temperature
sublimation and oxygen treatments by means of in situ ultrahigh vacuum reflection electron …

In a thermal gradient, surface nanostructures have been experimentally observed to move
due to thermomigration. However, analytical models that describe the thermomigration force …

In the present article, we introduce a phase-field model for thin-film growth with anisotropic
step energy, attachment kinetics, and diffusion, with second-order (thin-interface) …

We have used in situ ultrahigh vacuum reflection electron microscopy to investigate the
process of two-dimensional negative islands (etching pits) nucleation on extremely wide (up …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) Si island nucleation has been studied by in situ reflection
electron microscopy within a wide temperature range (650–1090° С) on large-scale (∼ 10 …
