Evaporation and Step Edge Di usion in MBES
Using kinetic Monte{Carlo simulations of a Solid{on{Solid model we investigate the innuence of step edge diiusion (SED) and evaporation on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Based on these investigations we propose two strategies to optimize MBE{growth. The strategies are applicable in diierent growth regimes: during layer{by{layer growth one can reduce the desorption rate using a pulsed ux. In thre...
متن کاملDiscrete-step evaporation of an atomic beam
We present a theoretical analysis of the evaporative cooling of a magnetically guided atomic beam by means of discrete radio-frequency antennas. First we derive the changes in flux and temperature, as well as in collision rate and phase-space density, for a single evaporation step. Next we show how the occurrence of collisions during the propagation between two successive antennas can be probed...

متن کاملNonequilibrium cluster diffusion during growth and evaporation in two dimensions.
The diffusion of growing or evaporating two-dimensional clusters is investigated. At equilibrium, it is well known that the mean square displacement (MSD) of the cluster center of mass is linear in time. In nonequilibrium conditions, we find that the MSD exhibits a nonlinear time dependence, leading to three regimes: (i) during curvature-driven evaporation, the MSD shows a square-root singulari...
متن کاملSpiral growth and step edge barriers.
The growth of spiral mounds containing a screw dislocation is compared to the growth of wedding cakes by two-dimensional nucleation. Using phase field simulations and homoepitaxial growth experiments on the Pt(111) surface we show that both structures attain the same large scale shape when a significant step-edge barrier suppresses interlayer transport. The higher vertical growth rate of the sp...
