摘要：
We investigate step configurations during homoepitaxial growth on Si(111) near the "1 x 1"-7 x 7 phase transition temperature. The surface mass diffusion constant is larger on "1 x 1" than on 7 x 7. This difference in the surface mass diffusion constant, coupled with the preferential nucleation of 7 x 7 at the upper side of the step, causes asymmetry in the surface mass diffusion during the "1 x 1"-7 x 7 phase transition. This asymmetry leads to step wandering during homoepitaxial growth. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
