26. Due to their irrelevance at the θ = 0 condition considered here, we have ignored the anisotropies of the sputtering yield with substrate directions, studied in [20].

28. In [5] θ ≠= 0 is used, with simultaneous substrate rotation. Results below apply after azimuthal average [20].
29. 3H. The former is cubic, rather than quadratic, in derivatives of H. The latter is multiplied by a small coefficient in the limit taken. Although, they influence properties like the dot shape [20], being small, they do not change the qualitative properties of in-plane dot ordering of interest here.

34. As in the KS theory of IBS [see, e.g., S. Facsko et al., Phys. Rev. B 63, 165329 (2001)], qualitative predictions are accurate, but quantitative predictions may deviate due to neglected mechanisms actually contributing to the interface equation with the same terms as considered.
