Abstract

We derive the generalized model of multilayer adsorptive system describing pattern formation on a surface of thin films during adsorption/desorption processes at condensation from gaseous phase and in plasma-condensate systems by taking into account transference reactions between layers. We discuss isotropic and anisotropic diffusion of adsorbate between layers, separately, in the framework of theoretical study and numerical simulations. It is shown that in multilayer adsorptive system, a cascade of first-order phase transitions is realized, and the number of such phase transitions is defined by the number of layers. We show that in the isotropic case of the standard vertical diffusion, an increase in the adsorption coefficient leads to a change in the surface morphology. In anisotropic gas-condensate system with preferential motion of adatoms from upper layers to lower ones, we define conditions for the adsorbate island formation. We discuss an influence of the anisotropy strength onto critical size of adsorbate islands and perform statistical analysis of the multilayer surface structures. By considering plasma-condensate systems, we show that an increase in the anisotropy strength leads to both the transformation of the surface morphology from separated nano-holes inside adsorbate matrix toward separated adsorbate islands and decrease in the linear size of adsorbate islands.
