When the drift velocity has a component against the step motion and exceeds a critical value, the straight step becomes unstable with long wavelength fluctuations, and wanders. This wandering pattern can be controlled by changing the direction of the drift. When the drift has no component parallel to the step edge, the unstable step obeys the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and shows a chaotic pattern. When the drift has a component parallel to the step edge, the step obeys the Benney equation. If the parallel component is sufficiently large, the step shows a regular pattern., 金沢大学総合メディア基盤センター}, pages = {4233--4266}, title = {Control of chaotic wandering of an isolated step by the drift of adatoms}, volume = {80}, year = {1998} }
