The aim of this paper is to examine the coarsening process in the evolution of the surface morphology during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A numerical approach for modeling the evolution of surface roughening in film growth by MBE is proposed. The model is based on the nonlinear differential equations by Kuramoto–Sivashinsky (KS) namely, KS and CKS (conserved KS). In particular, we propose a “combined version” of KS and CKS equations, which is solved as a function of a parameter r for the 1 + 1 dimensional case. The computation provides film height as a function of space and time. From this quantity the change of the width of the film over time has numerically been studied as a function of r. The main result of the research is that the surface width is exponentially increasing with increasing time and the change in surface width for smaller r values is significantly greater over longer time interval.

To determine anomalous dynamic scaling of continuum growth equations, López12 proposed an analytical approach, which is based on the scaling analysis introduced by Hentschel and Family.15 In this work, we generalize this scaling analysis to the (d+1)-dimensional molecular-beam epitaxy equations to determine their anomalous dynamic scaling. The growth equations studied here include the linear molecular-beam epitaxy (LMBE) and Lai–Das Sarma–Villain (LDV). We find that both the LMBE and LDV equations, when the substrate dimension d>2, correspond to a standard Family–Vicsek scaling, however, when d<2, exhibit anomalous dynamic roughening of the local fluctuations of the growth height. When the growth equations exhibit anomalous dynamic scaling, we obtain the local roughness exponents by using scaling relation α loc =α-zκ, which are consistent with the corresponding numerical results.
