摘要：
The morphological stability of the Stranski-Krastanow (SK) system against surface undulation is investigated for the case where the SK system consists of a conductor film and a thick substrate and it is under the influence of an electric field induced by an electrode above the film. It is shown that a flat electrode reduces the critical thickness below which the SK system is completely stable against surface undulation. Applying a wavy electrode to the completely stable system, on the other hand, causes the flat film surface to develop into an equilibrium ripple profile.
