摘要：

A numerical analysis of the ripening of multilayer islands on Cu(111) shows that the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier for interlayer mass transport is independent of the terrace width w as long as w > w(c) = 14 +/- 2 Angstrom, but vanishes for w < w(c). The critical width we corresponds exactly to the terrace width below which the surface state is pushed above the Fermi level due to quantum confinement. The Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier is therefore correlated with the occupation of surface states.
