27. Models of Barnett (Refs.) used this type of formulation.
28. However, its validity was later demonstrated by Tersoff through a kinetic argument based on impurity-induced stress at the free surface [J. Tersoff, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.5080 74, 5080 (1995)].

43. It is possible that the different deposition cases will result in dissimilar growth morphologies or step densities on the surface for given experimental conditions [for instance, G. G. Jernigan and P. E. Thompson, Thin Solid Films THSFAP 0040-6090 380, 114 (2000)]. However, differences in growth morphology are independently taken into account through the terrace length dependence derived in the model.

46. If this assumption is reversed, then the equations would have a sign change as previously described by M. J. Aziz and W. J. Boettinger [Acta Metall. Mater. AMATEB 0956-7151 10.1016/0956-7151(94)90507-X 42, 527 (1994)]. Such a switch would imply that a B atom has a bias toward bulk rather than toward the surface which is in contrast with the initial assumption that impurity atoms prefer to segregate to the free surface.

52. There are data from Jorke's paper (Ref.) that are qualitatively consistent in terms of a transition between kinetically limited and equilibrium segregation, but the transition temperature is inconsistent with later work by the same group (see Ref.). Therefore we have chosen to ignore the earlier data and consider our fit to be a lower bound on ΔμTP.
