Caroccia: Perimeter with densities: an energy for epitaxial growth

Caroccia:
In this talk I will introduce a free energy, first studied by
Ratz and Voigt, defined as the integration over the reduced boundary of
a crystal E of a suitable psi(u(x)) where psi
is a convex function and u denotes the
adatom density (the density of atoms not attached to the crystal and
free to move on the surface). This energy leads the surface diffusion
evolution in absence of the elastic stress and for small adatom
densities. We treat the variational point of view, by analyzing the semicontinuity
issues and the relaxad functional.
