Popis: International audience; We revisit the step bunching instability without recourse to the quasistatic approximation and show thatthe stability diagrams are significantly altered, even in the low-deposition regime where it was thoughtsufficient. In particular, steps are unstable against bunching for attachment-detachment limited growth. Byaccounting for the dynamics and chemical effects, we can explain the onset of step bunching inSið111Þ-ð7 × 7Þ and GaAs(001) without resort to the inverse Schwoebel barrier or step-edge diffusion.Further, the size-scaling analysis of step-bunch growth, as induced by these two combined effects, agreeswith the bunching regime observed at 750 °C in Si(111)-(7x7).
