AbstractWe review recent theoretical progress in the physical understanding of far-from-equilibrium phenomena seen experimentally in epitaxial growth and erosion on crystal surfaces. The formation and dynamics of various interface structures (pyramids, ripples, etc.), and also kinetic phase transitions observed between these structures, can all be understood within a simple continuum model based on the mass conservation law and respecting the symmetries of the growing crystal surface. In particular, theoretical predictions and experimental results are compared for (001), (110) and (111) crystal surfaces.

If crystal structures can be viewed as repositories of information, then crystal surfaces offer a pathway by which this information can be used to grow new structures through the process of epitaxy. The information transfer process is one of self-organization, and the kinetic and energetic factors influencing this are complex. They include the relative strengths of the adsorbate–adsorbate and adsorbate–substrate interactions, the flux of incoming species and the temperature of the system. In this brief review, we explore how the interplay of these factors influences the degree to which the epitaxial structures retain the ‘memory’ of the template, illustrating the discussion with examples from epitaxy on quasi-crystal surfaces.
