Abstract
We compare the 3D Monte-Carlo simulations of atom aggregation on a surface with TEM micrographs of real cobalt deposits obtained by sputter deposition on amorphous alumina. The discrepancy between deposited masses in otherwis e similar calculated and real deposits suggests the existence of a layer of trapped cobalt atoms in the latter. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
