Abstract

Surface processing is generally kinetics limited. Migration barriers, both on flat surfaces and near steps, therefore are of crucial importance, In this paper, we describe a kinetic barrier that separates two neighboring facets on surfaces. The contrast of this concept relative to the conventional Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier is shown through molecular dynamics/statics calculations on copper and aluminum. The effects of this new kinetic barrier are demonstrated through lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The predicted effects are in direct correspondence with validation experiments on copper and silver thin films.
