Crystallization for a Brenner-like potential
Brittan Farmer, Selim Esedoglu, Peter Smereka
Graphene is a carbon molecule with the structure of a honeycomb lattice. We show how this structure can arise in two dimensions as the minimizer of an interaction energy with two-b…
Modeling the Elastic Energy of Alloys: Potential Pitfalls of Continuum Treatments
Arvind Baskaran, Christian Ratsch, Peter Smereka
Some issues that arise when modeling elastic energy for binary alloys are discussed within the context of a Keating model and density functional calculations. The Keating model is…
A unified model of droplet epitaxy for compound semiconductor nanostructures: experiments and theory
Kristofer Reyes, Peter Smereka, Denis Nothern +5
We present a unified model of compound semiconductor growth based on kinetic Monte Carlo simulations in tandem with new experimental results that can describe and predict the mecha…
Mechanisms of Stranski-Krastanov Growth
Arvind Baskaran, Peter Smereka
Stranski-Krastanov (SK) growth is reported experimentally as the growth mode that is responsible for the transition to three dimensional islands in heteroepitaxial growth. A kineti…
Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Strained Heteroepitaxial Growth with Intermixing
Arvind Baskaran, Jason Devita, Peter Smereka
An efficient method for the simulation of strained heteroepitaxial growth with intermixing using kinetic Monte Carlo is presented. The model used is based on a solid-on-solid bond…
The role of discrete-particle noise in the Ostwald ripening
Baruch Meerson, Leonard M. Sander, Peter Smereka
We investigate the role of discrete-particle noise in interface-controlled Ostwald ripening. We introduce the noise within the framework of the Becker-Doering equations, and employ…
