Trajectory morphing applied to epitaxial thin film growth

Abstract

Several recent developments have made it possible to begin exploring in formal ways the trajectory space of epitaxial growth during molecular beam epitaxy. This paper reviews the fundamentals of trajectory morphing and presents results showing that trajectory morphing may be used to explore the trajectory space of an epitaxial thin film growth system. We have derived a simplified growth model, suitable for use in morphing, and this is also presented. are reviewed.
