摘要
The relaxation of isolated, pairs of and ensembles of steps on crystal surfaces towards equilibrium is reviewed, for systems both above and below the roughening transition temperature. Results of Monte Carlo simulations are discussed, together with analytic theories and experimental findings. Elementary dynamical processes are, below roughening, step fluctuations, step-step repulsion and annihilation of steps. Evaporation kinetics and surface diffusion are considered.
