Abstract

We present results of Monte Carlo simulations of irreversible diffusion-mediated nucleation and growth of square islands during deposition. This model mimics metal-on-fcc(100) metal epitaxy at lower temperatures. Our analysis focuses on the scaling of the island size and separation distributions, and their evolution with coverage. The depletion in the density of nearby island pairs is shown to produce a “Henzler ring” structure in the diffraction intensity profile.
