Rate-equation approach to irreversible island growth with cluster diffusion.
A self-consistent rate-equation (RE) approach to irreversible island growth and nucleation is presented which takes into account cluster mobility. As a first application, we consider the irreversible growth of compact islands on a two-dimensional surface in the presence of monomer deposition (with rate F) and monomer diffusion (with rate D(1)) while the mobility of an island of size s is assume...
متن کاملRate-equation approach to island size distributions and capture numbers in submonolayer irreversible growth
We present a quantitative rate-equation approach to irreversible submonolayer growth on a two-dimensional substrate. Our method explicitly takes into account the existence of a denuded ~‘‘capture’’! zone around every island and the correlations between the size of an island and the corresponding average capture zone. The evolution of the capture-zone distributions is described by a set of Voron...
متن کاملCAPTURE-NUMBERS AND ISLAND SIZE-DISTRIBUTIONS IN IRREVERSIBLE HOMOEPITAXIAL GROWTH A Rate-Equation Approach
A fully self-consistent rate-equation approach to irreversible submonolayer growth is presented. This approach explicitly takes into account the correlation between the size of an island and the corresponding average capture zone. It is shown that this leads to capture numbers which depend explicitely on the island-size, and excellent agreement with experimental and Monte Carlo results is found...
متن کاملRate-equation approach to island capture zones and size distributions in epitaxial growth.
Understanding and predicting the effects of correlations between island size and the rate of monomer capture has been shown to be the central problem in predicting the island-size distribution in submonolayer growth. Here we summarize a method which involves a self-consistent coupling of evolution equations for the capture-zone distributions with rate equations for the island-size distribution....
متن کاملIsland nucleation and growth with anomalous diffusion.
While most studies of submonolayer island nucleation and growth have been based on the assumption of ordinary monomer diffusion corresponding to diffusion exponent μ=1, in some cases either subdiffusive (μ<1) or superdiffusive (μ>1) behavior may occur. Here we present general expressions for the exponents describing the flux dependence of the island and monomer densities as a function of the cr...
