We have studied thin film growth of NiAl on Nickel (001) substrate using molecular dynamics simulations (MD) based on the Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potential. An incidence energy of 0.06 eV at 800 K, 900 K and 1000 K was considered. After the deposition process, we have obtained a B2-NiAl structure film with different percentages; 32.6% for the temperature 1000 K, 30% for 900 K and 25% for 800 K. Our investigation has prompt us to analyze the crystalline structure. During the evolution of deposited film, we observe the formation of grains with different orientation, as well as the appearance of vacancies in Ni and Al sublattices and antisites.

Copper film growth using thermal evaporation methods was studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The AlSiMgCuFe modified embedded atom method potential was used to describe interaction of Cu-Cu, Si-Si and Cu-Si atoms. Our results showed that the variations of substrate temperature affected crystal structure composition and surface roughness of the produced copper film catalyst substrate. In this study, we observed intermixing phenomenon after deposition process. The increasing of substrate temperature affected the increasing of the total silicon atoms had diffusion into copper film.
