![]() | Liu, Feng | Kinetics of mesa overlayer growth: climbing of adatoms onto the mesa top | We have calculated the energy barriers for an adatom climbing up onto a Pb mesa top either over a facet-facet edge or through a facet-step joint, using a modified embedded atom method. We found that the second process is not only thermodynamically more favorable than the first one but also much fast... | Mesa overlayer growth; Adatoms; Epitaxial growth | 2008 |
