Faceted-rough surface with disassembling of macrosteps in nucleation-limited crystal growth

Abstract To clarify whether a surface can be rough with faceted macrosteps that maintain their shape on the surface, crystal surface roughness is studied by a Monte Carlo method for a nucleation-limited crystal-growth process. As a surface model, the restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model with point...
