Continuum Limit of a Mesoscopic Model with Elasticity of Step Motion on Vicinal Surfaces
Abstract
This work considers the rigorous derivation of continuum models of step motion starting
from a mesoscopic Burton–Cabrera–Frank-type model following the Xiang’s work (Xiang
in SIAM J Appl Math 63(1):241–258, 2002). We prove that as the lattice parameter goes
to zero, for a finite time interval, a modified discrete model converges to the strong
solution of the limiting PDE with first-order convergence rate.
