Surface morphology dynamics in strained-layer epitaxy

The surface of a film grown epitaxially on a crystalline substrate is generally rough, even if the initial growth surface is smooth on the atomic scale. In the case of strained-layer epitaxy, in which the composition of the film is such that it does not share the same lattice constant as the subs...
