Chaotic step bunching during crystal growth. (English) Zbl 0790.58037

So called step bunching on crystal surfaces during crystal growth is analyzed by means of (1D) dynamical models. Standard methods from the treatment of dynamical systems are applied to determine spatial patterns (from periodic via chaotic to intermittent), stability regimes, and bifurcations. The approach is deterministic and does not take stochastic components into account.
