Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of Ni nanowires on Cu(1 0 0) stepped surfaces

In this paper we use Kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulations based on the solid-on-solid model to determine optimum growth parameters, such as deposition rate F, substrate temperature T and coverage rate θ for growing “perfect” Ni nanowires on Cu(1 0 0) vicinal surfaces. The heteroepitaxial growth of...
