Abstract: Convexity splitting like schemes with improved accuracy are proposed for a phase field model for surface diffusion. The schemes are developed to enable large scale simulations in three spatial dimensions describing experimentally observed solid state dewetting phenomena. We introduce a first and a second order unconditionally energy stable scheme and carefully elaborate the loss in accuracy associated with large time steps in such schemes. We then present a family of Rosenbrock convex splitting schemes. We show the existence of a maximal numerical timestep and demonstrate the increase of this maximal numerical time step by at least one order of magnitude using a Rosenbrock method. This scheme is used to study the effect of contact angle on solid state dewetting phenomena.
