Abstract

The epitaxial growth kinetics of Co on Cu(100) are investigated with a kinetic solid-on-solid model. Two effects are found to dominate the growth of this system reflecting the difference in surface free energies betweenthe two materials: the difference of diffusion parameters, and the inability of Co to wet Cu(100) at lower temperatures.
