Abstract
We theoretically discuss the far from equilibrium interfacial phenomena occurring in the multilayer homoepitaxial growth and erosion on (110) crystal surfaces. As evidenced by experiments, these rectangular symmetry surfaces exhibit a multitude of interesting non-equilibrium interfacial structures, such as the rippled one-dimensionally periodic states that are not present in the homoepitaxial growth and erosion on the high symmetry (100) and (111) crystal surfaces. Within a unified continuum model for interface dynamics, here we elucidate this multitude of novel states on (110) surfaces as well as the transitions between them. We discuss in detail the role of the vertical growth asymmetry. © 2005 Materials Research Society.
