Abstract

(1+1)-dimensional stochastic simulations were performed representing elementary processes underlying chemical vapor deposition of diamond films. The results exhibit different growth regimes, depending on the values assigned to kinetic rates, and generally support the critical role of surface migration suggested earlier for the growth of diamond.
