Abstract

We describe the kinetics of the step bunching instability of a miscut (vicinal) surface by studying the distribution of terrace widths as a function of deposition time. The results are compared with models previously developed for equilibrium situations. This analysis allows a quantitative description of the surface structure and of its appearance.
