AbstractKinetic Monte Carlo simulations with two species (Si and H) have been performed to identify the mechanism behind the H-induced creation of a strongly temperature-dependent high density of Si islands in the temperature range of 300–550 K during molecular-beam epitaxy on Si(001) surface. A model is proposed to explain this effect as a result of an activated exchange between H and Si at Si island edges.
