Monte Carlo simulation of submonolayer vapor-deposition polymerization.
In this paper, we propose a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial growth of polymer films by considering only monomer surface diffusion in the vapor-deposition polymerization process. In the model, monomers are deposited randomly on a two-dimensional square lattice with periodic boundary conditions and are allowed to diffuse with nearest neighbor hops. Whenever monomers meet, they stop d...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Epitaxial Thin Film Growth: Formation of Submonolayer Islands and Multilayer Mounds
We consider homoepitaxy (or low-misfit heteroepitaxy) via vapor deposition or MBE under UHV conditions. Thin film growth is initiated by nucleation and growth of 2D islands in the submonolayer regime. For atoms subsequently deposited on top of islands, a step edge barrier often inhibits downward transport and produces kinetic roughening during multilayer growth. Such unstable growth is characte...
متن کاملEpitaxial growth with pulsed deposition: submonolayer scaling and Villain instability.
It has been observed experimentally that under certain conditions, pulsed laser deposition (PLD) produces smoother surfaces than ordinary molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). So far, the mechanism leading to the improved quality of surfaces in PLD is not yet fully understood. In the present work, we investigate the physical properties of a simple model for PLD, in which the transient mobility of adato...
متن کاملDirect vs. indirect sequential Monte-Carlo filters
We address the recursive computation of the a posteriori filtering pdf p n|n in a Hidden Markov Chain (HMC). Classically pn|n is computed via the recursion p n−1|n−1 → pn|n−1 → pn|n. In this paper we explore direct, prediction-based (P-based) and smoothing-based (S-based) alternative loops for propagating p n|n. We next address sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) implementations of these filtering pat...
متن کاملMonte Carlo study of the growth of striped domainsE
We analyze the dynamical scaling behavior in a two-dimensional spin model with competing interactions after a quench to a striped phase. We measure the growth exponents studying the scaling of the interfaces and the scaling of the shrinking time of a ball of one phase plunged into the sea of another phase. Our results connrm the predictions found in previous papers. The correlation functions me...
