Parallel Monte Carlo simulation of MBE growth

چکیده
We present a parallel algorithm for Monte Carlo simulation of molecular beam epitazial growth (MBE) focusing on the software we have developed and the ezperiences gained. An eficient sequential method to do MBE simulation was developed that uses a single binary tree t o store the rates of occwence of all possible events at a given time. The challenge was to find a ioay to adapt this method to a parallel machine.

KMCInterative: an interactive molecular beam epitaxy kinetic Monte Carlo simulator for education
A fast Monte Carlo simulator with a graphical user interface is an ideal education tool for students learning about molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). This paper discusses the implementation of such a simulator, as well as simulation techniques that may be used to tailor surfaces. Simulations carried out on the learning tool show how MBE can recover step-flow growth, in addition to the temperature d...
متن کاملLayer-by-layer Pattern Propagtion and Pulsed Laser Deposition
In this article kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser depositon (PLD) are compared. It will be shown that an optimal pattern conservation during MBE is achieved for a specific ratio of diffusion to deposition rate. Further on pulsed laser deposition is presented as an alternative way to control layer by layer growth. First results concerning the islan...

متن کاملPossibilities of Monte Carlo simulation for examination of nanowhisker growth*
The kinetic Monte Carlo (MC) model of nanowhisker (NW) growth is suggested. Two variants of growth are possible in the model—molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The effect of deposition conditions and growth regimes on the whisker morphology was examined within the framework of the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) mechanism. A range of model growth conditions corresponding...
متن کاملEvaluation of the performance of parallel-hole collimator for high resolution small animal SPECT: A Monte Carlo study
Introduction: Image quality and accuracy of in vivo activity quantification in SPECT are affected by collimator penetration and scatter components, especially in high energy imaging. These phenomena highly depend on the collimator characteristic and photon energy. The presence of penetrated and scattered photons from collimator in SPECT images degrades spatial resolution, contr...
