Molecular dynamics simulations were performed in order to simulate the process of the molecular-beam epitaxy for two-component Lennard-Jones systems where the atomic size of the incident beam is different from that of the substrate. A drastic but systematic change is observed in the overlayer growth pattern as the size difference changes. Effects of the substrate temperature on the overlayer growth pattern are also studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
