Abstract
The submonolayer homoepitaxial growth on Ag(1 1 0) is studied by using a va riable-temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope. The evol ution of island density is studied as a function of temperature at given fl ux (approximate to0.0025 ML s(-1)) and coverage (0.16 ML) to evaluate the e nergy barriers and the binding energies for the in-channel and cross-channe l diffusion. The experimental results are compared with kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
