主 题:surfactant surface roughness exchange Monte Carlo simulation
摘 要:A new growth model is introduced to describe surfactant-induced growth of Ag on Ag (111) with realistic physical parameters. In this model, the A-S exchange mechanism is considered for the first time. Using the Monte Carlo simulations, the influence of exchange mechanism, surface temperature T, the exchange barrier Eεx, and the coverage of surfactant θM on the growth mode and morphology during multilayer film growth of Ag/Ag (111) are studied in detail Both the referenced value of surfactant coverage and the method to obtain perfect layer-by-layer film in surfactantinduced Ag/Ag (111) system are provided. Our simulation results are consistent with many experimental observations for surfactant-induced growth of Ag on Ag (111).
