Solid films are usually metastable or unstable in the as-deposited state, and they will dewet
or agglomerate to form islands when heated to sufficiently high temperatures. This process …

Homoepitaxy provides an ideal testing ground for fundamental concepts in film growth. The
rich variety of complex far-from-equilibrium morphologies which can form during deposition …

The transfer‐free direct growth of high‐performance materials and devices can enable
transformative new technologies. Here, room‐temperature field‐effect hole mobilities as …

Understanding of metal oxidation is critical to corrosion control, catalysis synthesis, and
advanced materials engineering. Although, metal oxidation process is rather complicated …

Here we report the second harmonic emission properties of self-organized gold nanowires
arrays supported on dielectric substrates with a sub-wavelength periodic pattern. The …

RV Zucker et al./CR Physique 14 (2013) 564–577 565 ont été explorés en utilisant le
modèle. L'épaisseur du film, l'autodiffusivité de surface sur la facette supérieure du front …

Metal surface oxidation is governed by surface mass transport processes. Realistic surfaces
have many defects such as step edges, which often dictate the oxide growth dynamics and …

We review recent theoretical progress in the physical understanding of far-from-equilibrium
phenomena seen experimentally in epitaxial growth and erosion on crystal surfaces. The …

In situ TEM experiments have shown that the oxidation of stepped Cu (100) surface results
in a flat Cu2O film, which is different from the 3D oxide island structure that usually forms on …

Mechanisms of the step permeability are studied theoretically with the use of a simple
terrace-edge-kink model of atomic events at the step edge. The model takes into account the …
