Study on Kinetic Competitions of Crystal Growth

Abstract:

One of the key issues is in crystal growth technologies is control of crystal morphology. This paper attends to understand film growth in its full generality is to propose a growth law, and it is capable of describing all types of growth mechanisms and determining the growth morphology at different stages of growth. We refer to an axiomatic approach to identify the important scaling in growth processes. One way to determine which processes dominate the competition is to form dimensionless parameters which embody the competitions between pairs of kinetic processes.
