Colloquium: Cluster growth on surfaces: Densities, size distributions, and morphologies

Abstract: Understanding and control of cluster and thin film growth on solid surfaces is a subject of intensive research to develop nanomaterials with new physical properties. In this Colloquium we review basic theoretical concepts to describe submonolayer growth kinetics under non-equilibrium conditions. It is shown how these concepts can be extended and further developed to treat self-organized cluster formation in material systems of current interest, such as nanoalloys and molecular clusters in organic thin film gro… Show more

“…By matching (6) to N1   in the transient regime, one immediately recovers the result (2) for the crossover *. From (6), it is also clear that N1 << Nisl for i = 1, N1 ~ Nisl for i = 2, and N1 >> Nisl for i > 2 when  = O(1) for large h/F [14]. Fourth, we consider the mean island size, sav.…”

“…Among different possible fabrication approaches, those classified as bottom-up, which consist in exploiting the peculiarity of the growth procedure in order to obtain self-organized systems at the nanometer scale, combine both fundamental and technological potentialities [1,2]. The former is due to the fact that many materials, when confined to low dimensions, show novel and intriguing properties.…”

“…Сформулированное впервые Vicsek и Family в работе [1] свойство масштабной инвариантности (МИ), или скейлинга, функции распре-деления по размерам (ФР) наблюдается для некоторых двумерных поверхностных островков на ранних стадиях эпитаксиального роста, предшествуюших коалесценции [2][3][4]. Для этого необходимо, чтобы коэффициент диффузии адатомов (подвижных мономеров) был много 4 В.Г.…”

“…Дубровский больше скорости их осаждения на подложку. МИ ФР имеют вид [1][2][3][4] n(s, s , ) = s 2 F(x), x = s s , где s -число мономеров в островке ( " размер", пропорциональный площади поверхности, занимаемой островком), s -средний размер островков и -степень заполнения поверхности подложки остров-ками. Скейлинговая функция (СФ) F(x) в правой части приведенного выражения должна быть универсальной, т. е. не зависеть ни от , ни от s .…”
