Influence of Step-Edge Barriers on the Morphological Relaxation of Nanoscale Ripples on Crystal Surfaces
We show that the decay of sinusoidal ripples on crystal surfaces, where mass transport is limited by the attachment and detachment of atoms at the step-edges, is remarkably different from the decay behavior that has been reported until now. Unlike the decreasing or at most constant rate of amplitude decay …
