Oxidation pathway selection directed by atomic surface steps
DOI:10.1016/j.matt.2026.102704.png)
Abstract
En 中文
• Step polarity acts as a geometric switch for lateral vs. inward oxidation • Coordination-driven energetics create an intrinsic downward diffusion bias • Rectified adatom flux feeds positive steps but drains negative steps • Flux routing via step geometry determines macroscopic oxide morphology
Keywords:
