Fig. 7

Vicinal {0001} surfaces of HCP crystals have alternating α and β terraces separated by A and B steps. Notations are indicated for the kinetic coefficients for adatom attachment from below and above and for adatom transmission. Schematic of alternating terraces and steps of BCF model for HCP basal-plane surfaces, showing kinetic coefficients for the A and B steps.
