Abstract:
We study nonequilibrium interfacial states in multilayer epitaxial growth and erosion on rectangular symmetry crystal surfaces. We elucidate a recently observed transition between two kinds of rippled states on (110) surfaces. We predict several novel interface states intervening, via consecutive transitions, between the two rippled states. We predict coarsening laws of the dynamics of the rippled and the intervening states on (110) crystal surfaces.
