Roughening of growing surfaces: Kinetic models and continuum theories

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract (may include machine translation)

The use of scaling concepts in understanding growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is increasingly important these days. Here we present a critical discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of kinetic theories and continuum models, two main methods frequently used to study the roughening and scaling of surfaces grown by MBE. Finally, some open problems faced by these approaches are also discussed.
