26. Note that this discussion assumes that adatom mobilities are sufficient to sample multiple sites following deposition. In the limit of zero mobility, the arguments fail as film growth occurs in a "hit and stick" ballistic aggregation mode in which all orientations are equally probable and the resulting films are highly underdense due to severe atomic shadowing.
