The dualism between adatom- and vacancy-based single crystal growth models

In homoepitaxial crystal growth, four established modes describe atom deposition on a single crystal surface. Here the authors present a model that shows that, for each adatom growth mode, there exists an analogous but inverse version for vacancy growth. This also applies to combined growth.
