Step-flow Growth

Step-Flow Growth is a mode of epitaxial thin film growth in which adatoms preferentially attach to step edges on a crystal surface, resulting in the lateral advancement of atomic terraces without significant island formation, distinguished from other growth modes by its continuous, layer-by-layer propagation along surface steps.
