Phase-field modeling of ATG instability in Allen–Cahn framework

The phenomenon of Asaro–Tiller–Grinfeld (ATG) instability is common in the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) process. In order to investigate the ATG instability, a two-dimensional mathematical model is established, which considers elastic stress. The phase-field method is utilized to simulate the interf...
