摘      要：We study the growth of epitaxial thin films on pre-patterned substrates that influence the surface diffusion of subsequently deposited material using a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm that combines the use of inverted lists with *** resulting algorithm is well adapted to systems with spatially heterogeneous hopping *** evaluate the algorithm’s performance we compare it with an efficient,binary-tree based algorithm.A key finding is that the relative performance of the inverted list algorithm improves with increasing system size.
