摘要: Surfaces eroded by ion sputtering are sometimes observed to develop morphologies which either ripple (periodic) or rough (nonperiodic). We introduce a discrete stochastic model that allows us interpret these experimental observations within unified framework. find periodic morphology characterizes the initial stages of evolution, whereas surface displays self-affine scaling in later time regime. Further, we argue continuum equation describing height is noisy version Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation.
