A Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Thin Film Formation Process of Surfactant-Mediated Growth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The phenomenon of surfactant-mediated growth has been successfully simulated by means of a molecular dynamics method using two-dimensional model atoms interacting via a Lennard-Jones potential. Surfactant atoms were placed on a substrate, and then film atoms were deposited. Under adequate experimental conditions, the surfactant atoms could stay at the growing surface by exchanging their positions with the deposited atoms. Effects of various conditions on the morphology of the film surface were precisely investigated by the simulations.
