A quantitatively kinetic model has been established to address the self-assembly of the ring shaped nanostructures upon the droplet epitaxy via kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The theoretical predictions about the temperature and As flux dependences of the self-assembly of the ring shaped nanostructures were in well agreement with recent experiments. It was found that the morphological evolution of the ring shaped nanostructures was attributed to the cooperation of the enhanced diffusion barriers of free Ga atoms in the inner ring region and the effects of the surface reconstruction around the Ga droplets during the arsenization step.

Several methods have been introduced to study and simulate homoepitaxial growth of III-V materials. GaAs (001) surface has widely been used in the last three decades due both to its importance as substrate and for characterization of epitaxial growth. In this paper, we firstly study the initial stage of homoepitaxial growth on a GaAs (001) β2(2x4) reconstructed surface using As2 . The simulation was carried out with Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations including the zinc blend structure β2 (2x4) reconstruction of GaAs surface. Then we discus results of the homoepitaxy GaAs on GaAs particularly morphological evolution of the two dimensional islands and observations were made in real-time at the growth temperature using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and roughness morphology.

ABSTRACTLattice Langevin equations are derived from the rules of lattice growth models. These provide an exact mathematical description that is suitable for direct analysis, such as the passage to the continuum limit, as well as a computational alternative to kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. This approach is applied to ballistic deposition and a model for conditional deposition, both of which yield the Kardar–Parisi– Zhang equation in the continuum limit, and a model of strain relaxation during heteroepitaxy.

The self-organization of germanium islands on a silicon (001) substrate is studied using a lattice--based kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. These islands form spontaneously via Stranski-Krastanov mode during growth. The interplay...

We developed a kinetic Monte-Carlo approach to model the self-assembly of ultrathin metallic nanowires during the growth of hybrid Ni–SrTiO3 thin films.
