Various rare earth oxide nanostructures were synthesized for the first time by dual-double pulsed gas feeding/pulsed laser deposition. The optically transparent and insulating nanostructures do not exhibit the standard columnar configuration of rare earth oxide thin films but rather dense...

The nature of the approximate multi-exponent scaling of height fluctuations found in a class of limited-mobility atomistic models of epitaxial growth is investigated numerically. A recently proposed connection between this multiscaling behavior and a “controlled” instability in discretized...

The effects of deposition noise on two-dimensional mound coarsening with slope selection are studied using both continuum and discrete models. Our continuum model may also be considered as a model of two-dimensional polycrystalline growth with a preferred facet orientation. In agreement with...

We have developed a novel kinetic Monte Carlo method, which simulates the epitaxial growth of oxide films with perovskite structure. First results are presented for two cases of adsorption dynamics for one of the metals — adsorption of single Ti atoms and adsorption of larger particles TiO2...
