摘要：

A linear stability analysis is applied to the study of the compact-fractal island morphological transition during epitaxial growth. The analysis includes the diffusion mediated interaction between islands within a self-consistent mean-field theory. A scaling form is derived for the length of the island edges. Results are confirmed by comparison with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
