Abstract

We propose and study analytically and by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations a simple model for the homoepitaxial growth of GaAs on vicinals of GaAs (1 1 0). Our model displays a step bunching-step meandering transition that qualitatively reproduces the behavior observed experimentally, as well as more complex self-organized patterning where bunching and meandering appear simultaneously.
