Island nucleation and growth during submonolayer deposition

In this thesis, we develop a number of theoretical approaches that can be used to investigate the nucleation and growth of islands in submonolayer deposition. In particular, we consider initially a rate-equation approach in which we propose a system of differential equations as a mean-field model of...
