Asymptotics of capture zone distributions in a fragmentation-based model of submonolayer deposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the asymptotics of the distribution of the capture zones associated with the islands nucleated during submonolayer deposition onto a one-dimensional substrate. We use a convolution of the distribution of inter-island gaps, the asymptotics of which is known for a class of nucleation models, to derive the asymptotics for the capture zones. The results are in broad agreement with published Monte Carlo simulation data [Phys. Rev. E 85, 021601].

Rate-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 کاملDistributional fixed-point equations for island nucleation in one dimension: a retrospective approach for capture-zone scaling.
The distributions of interisland gaps and captures zones for islands nucleated on a one-dimensional substrate during submonolayer deposition are considered using a novel retrospective view. This provides an alternative perspective on why scaling occurs in this continuously evolving system. Distributional fixed-point equations for the gaps are derived both with and without a mean-field approxima...
متن کاملNucleation, adatom capture, and island size distributions: Unified scaling analysis for submonolayer deposition
We consider the irreversible nucleation and growth of two-dimensional islands during submonolayer deposition in the regime of large island sizes. A quasihydrodynamic analysis of rate equations for island densities yields an ordinary differential equation (ODE) for the scaling function describing the island size distribution. This ODE involves the scaling function for the dependence on island si...

Molecular beam epitaxy is an important method for growing thinlms and nanostructures. One of the scienti c challenges is to understand the fundamental processes that control the evolution of thin lm structure and morphology. The results of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations carried out to study the dependence of the submonolayer scaled island-size distribution on the critical island-size are prese...
متن کاملIsland sizes and capture zone areas in submonolayer deposition: Scaling and factorization of the joint probability distribution
The joint probability distribution ( JPD) for island sizes, s, and capture zone areas, A, provides extensive information on the distribution of islands formed during submonolayer deposition. For irreversible island formation via homogeneous nucleation, this JPD is shown to display scaling of the type F(s/sav,A/Aav), where “av” denotes average values. The form of F reflects both a broad monomoda...
