Anisotropic surface energy formulations and their effect on stability of a growing thin film

In this paper we revisit models for the description of the evolution of crystalline films with anisotropic surface energies.We prove equivalences of symmetry properties of anisotropic surface energy models commonly used in the literature. Then we systematically develop a framework for the derivation...
