Mechanism for Coherent Island Formation during Heteroepitaxy
Monte Carlo simulations are reported for an atomistic model of heteroepitaxial growth. Dislocations are excluded but lattice misfit is assumed to encourage atom detachment from islands by reducing the barrier for this process by a morphology-dependent strain
متن کاملFormation of atom wires on vicinal silicon.
The feasibility of creating atomic wires on vicinal silicon surfaces via pseudomorphic step-edge decoration has been analyzed for the case of Ga on Si(112). Scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations indicate the formation of Ga zigzag chains intersected by quasiperiodic vacancy lines or "misfit dislocations." This structure strikes a balance between the system's d...
متن کاملRecent Thermodynamic Data on Vicinal Water and a Model for Their Interpretation*
Results of recent measurements on vicinal (i.e. surface modified) water are reported, particularly data for the density, thermal expansion coefficient, and viscosity. The results are discussed and related to previous studies, suggesting that vicinal water extends over large distances, probably in the range of 30 to 100 molecular diameters. It is proposed also that vicinal water is induced not o...
متن کاملA thermodynamic model of transcriptome formation
The genome supplies information on both the quality and quantity of the transcriptome. However, as it remains unknown how a cell determines transcript levels from the genome sequences, despite comprehensive knowledge of the cellular components involved, the quantity information held by the genome cannot as yet be derived from nucleotide sequences. The model presented here explains on a thermody...
متن کاملTemperature Effect on Micelle Formation: Molecular Thermodynamic Model Revisited.
Temperature affects the aggregation of macromolecules such as surfactants, polymers, and proteins in aqueous solutions. The effect on the critical micelle concentration (CMC) is often nonmonotonic. In this work, the effect of temperature on the micellization of ionic and nonionic surfactants in aqueous solutions is studied using a molecular thermodynamic model. Previous studies based on this te...
