Effects of atomic interactions in two component submonolayer growth
Abstract
Description
We discuss effects of the different chemical bondings on the island morphology and on the island density scaling in two-component submonolayer growth. Different regimes depending on the strength of the mutual interactions and on the relative mobility of species are described and studied by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations using a two-component solid-on-solid growth model. Results for the temperature and flux dependence of the island density as well as examples of the surface morphologies are presented.
