Monte Carlo simulation of thin films growth

Two-dimensional growth of thin films is simulated using the Monte Carlo met hod. The effect of the interaction between particles on the morphology of t he films at the preliminary stage has been investigated using Morse potenti al. The growth of films consists of four stages,including formation of crit ical nucleus,growth of clusters,formation of maze structure and appearance of continuous film. The simulated results indicate that the percentage of p articles,with monomers being not included,decreases with the increase of th e number of adatoms,which is in agreement with the actual conditions.
