Abstract
A mean field method to study heteroepitaxial thin film growth is applied to growth, intermixing and surface reconstructions of on . The results are in accordance with experimentally observed ``burrowing'' at submonolayer coverages and growth of elongated, reconstructed, clusters at higher coverages. At coverages of few monolayers the surface between the clusters has a high concentration of , and ordered rows of are formed just beneath the surface.
