The adsorption-induced thermal step-bunching on the hexagonal lattice system
We present restricted solid-on-solid model coupled with Ising system (RSOS-I model) on the hexagonal system. Without long-range interaction such as elastic interaction, the adsorption-induced thermal step-bunching is obtained by the Monte Carlo calculation on the hexagonal RSOS-I model.
