Currently, the nature of self-assembly of three-dimensional epitaxial islands or quantum dots
(QDs) in a lattice-mismatched heteroepitaxial growth system, such as InAs/GaAs (001) and …

Functional thin films of nanoscale metal pillars in oxide or nitride matrices known as
vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) have gained much interest owing to their unique …

We propose a multiscale simulation scheme that combines first-principles Molecular
Dynamics (MD) and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations to describe ion transport …

The self-organization of germanium islands on a silicon (001) substrate is studied using
lattice-based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. These islands form spontaneously via the …

The liquid phase heteroepitaxial growth on predefined crystalline substrate is studied with
binary phase field crystal (PFC) model. The purpose of this paper focuses on changes of the …

We have developed a simple cubic solid-on-solid (SOS) model of growth that captures many
of the features of 2× 1 reconstructed surfaces. Energetics in the model is based on bond …

The morphology of spontaneously self-assembled quantum dots in the Ge/Si (100)
heteroepitaxial systems is affected by intermixing of silicon from the substrate with …

We develop a modified solid-on-solid model for studying heteroepitaxial growth of Ge on a
2× 1 reconstructed Si (001) surface. The model is implemented using lattice-based kinetic …

We have analyzed the Stranski–Krastanov growth mode in heteroepitaxial thin films using
lattice-based kinetic Monte Carlo simulations with an atomistic model of elasticity. In this …

A modified lattice model is developed to study the growth of Ge on Si (001). In addition to the
usual bond energies, surface reconstruction and elastic strain are explicitly taken into …
