Schwoebel Barrires as the Reason for 3D-Island Formation During Heteroepitaxy

Abstract

Self-assembled 3D-islands formation during heteroepitaxial growth was investigated by Monte Carlo simulation. Shwoebel barriers for explanation of 3D growth kinetic were suggested. Island size equalization dunng growth process was observed. Necessity of atomic flux from island edge to the upper layers for 3D island formation was demonstrated.
