In this study, we investigated the cluster effect on the occurrence of giant step bunching. We generated carbon clusters on 4H-SiC (0001) surfaces by thermal decomposition of SiC in an Ar atmosphere and controlled the surface concentrations of the clusters by adding H2 gas. We found the boundaries between surfaces with and without giant steps to show Arrhenius-type behavior. This behavior agreed with our predictions deduced from a chemical reaction model that takes the cluster effect into account, suggesting that giant step bunching is attributable to the formation of clusters on SiC.

In this paper, we revisit a reaction—diffusion autocatalytic chemical reaction model with decay. For higher-order reactions, we prove that the system possesses at least two positive steady-state solutions; hence, it has bistable dynamics similar to the system without decay. For the linear reaction, we determine the necessary and sufficient condition to ensure the existence of a solution. Moreover, in the one-dimensional case, we prove that the positive steady-state solution is unique. Our results demonstrate the drastic difference in dynamics caused by the order of chemical reactions.
