Ge segregation data is analyzed using a. simultaneous growth and excha
nge model in the limit of infinite surface diffusion. This model is fo
und to predict a longer leading edger an enlarged surface Ge storage r
eservoir and a better temperature dependence than the previously descr
ibed two-layer model. This suggests;hat surface diffusion and rearrang
ement plays a more important role in Ge segregation than believed here
