In sublimation, a step with large kinetic coefficient recedes faster than that with small kinetic coefficient, and step pairs are formed. The upper side step in the step pair is the step with large kinetic coefficient. An equidistant array of the pairs is unstable against bunching. Number of steps Nmax in bunches increases with time as Nmax ∼ tβ. The exponent β = 0.5 when the bunch grows via successive collisions of step pairs, and β ≈ 1.2 when the bunch grows via coalescence of bunches. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
