Multiscale Kinetic Monte-Carlo for Simulating Epitaxial Growth
We present a fast Monte-Carlo algorithm for simulating epitaxial surface growth, based on the continuous-time Monte-Carlo algorithm of Bortz, Kalos and Lebowitz. When simulating realistic growth regimes, much computational time is consumed by the relatively fast dynamics of the adatoms. Continuum and continuum-discrete hybrid methods have been developed to approach this issue; however in many s...
متن کاملHybrid, Multiscale Monte Carlo Algorithm for Simulating Stochastic Systems
INTRODUCTION Accurately relating the physiological outcome of a cell to the molecular events, based on an in silico analysis of intracellular networks, requires not only a precise knowledge of the network, but also an appropriate simulation technique. Traditionally, the methods used to temporally evolve intracellular networks have been deterministic in nature. However, deterministic methods can...
متن کاملKinetic Monte Carlo simulation of heterometal epitaxial deposition
Vapor deposited multilayers consisting of alternating ferromagnetic and nonferrous metals are being used for magnetic sensing and data storage devices. Their performance is dependent upon interface morphology which is a sensitive function of deposition condition such as the deposition rate, deposition temperature, and flux angle of incidence. A two-dimensional kinetic Monte Carlo method has bee...
متن کاملCoupling kinetic Monte-Carlo and continuum models with application to epitaxial growth
We present a hybrid method for simulating epitaxial growth that combines kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulations with the Burton–Cabrera–Frank model for crystal growth. This involves partitioning the computational domain into KMC regions and regions where we time-step a discretized diffusion equation. Computational speed and accuracy are discussed. We find that the method is significantly faster ...
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...
