Table 2. Comparison of the growth velocities vg obtained from (a) the evolution of the number of crystalline-like particles (see also Fig. 3; in this Table the average values of vg are shown), (b) the product λk+·S and (c) Wilson-Frenkel (WF) formula. The value of λ = 1.7 Å is obtained by comparing the first and second approach at T = 585 K. We also assume that the quantity Inline graphic entering the WF formula is equal to λ.
