ResumoThe two-dimensional kinetic roughening of steps on vicinal Si(001) has been analyzed with scanning tunneling microscopy for growth at different rates, doses, and temperatures. Growth exponents for the evolution of the step roughness are extracted. They suggest extremely ineffective relaxation mechanisms for the rough step.
