Epitaxial Growth of Thin Films -- a Statistical Mechanical Model
A theoretical framework is developed to describe experiments on the structure
of epitaxial thin films, particularly niobium on sapphire. We extend the
hypothesis of dynamical scaling to apply to the structure of thin films from
its conventional application to simple surfaces. We then present a
phenomenological continuum theory that provides a good description of the
observed scattering and the measured exponents. Finally the results of
experiment and theory are compared.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, minor revisions. accepted for publication in J
