Modeling growth from the vapor and thermal annealing on micro- and nanopatterned substrates

We propose a (1+1) -dimensional mesoscopic model to describe the most relevant physical processes that take place while depositing and/or annealing micro- and nanopatterned solid substrates. The model assumes that a collimated incident beam impinges over the growing substrate; scattering effects in...
