Project Title Modelling, asymptotic analysis and numerical simulation of the dynamics of thin film nanostructures on crystal surfaces
Description Thin films play an important role in many application areas and also in everyday life. For thin liquid surface tension driven films applications range from the spreading of paint to the motion of nanoscale films of polymer or complex liquids like the photoresists that are spin-coated onto a silicon wafer in the process of chip manufacturing. For thin solid films the development of nanostructures during epitaxial growth has received considerable attention because of its potential in the design of novel, multifunctional electronic device structures. The small slope approximation has been shown to be the key to achieve model reduction from the underlying 3D free boundary problems to high order 2D partial differential equations for the evolving surfaces. While the development and systematic study of such high order model equations require new mathematical theory as well as numerical methods, they in turn offer the possiblity to understand and control the dynamical processes leading the experimentally observed long-time patterns, or even, in the case of epitaxially grown films, to the design of superlattices of QDs, having very different electronic as well as optoelectronic properties.
