Wavelet characterization of coarsening during unstable MBE growth

[en] We present a wavelet analysis of coarsening of mounds during molecular beam epitaxy. The advantage in using wavelets over Fourier analysis is that one can track the coarsening process in both, location (direct space) and frequency (or scale) space at the same time. The wavelets concise scale decomposition allows the discrimination of the coarsening process, i.e. tracking coarsening at different scales.
