Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of sintering
F. Westerhoff, R. Zinetullin, D. E. Wolf
We simulate the sintering of particle aggregates due to surface diffusion. As a method we use Kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations in which elasticity can explicitly be taken into accou…
Coupling between static friction force and torque for a tripod
Silvio R. Dahmen, Haye Hinrichsen, Andrey Lysov +1
If a body is resting on a flat surface, the maximal static friction force before motion sets in is reduced if an external torque is also applied. The coupling between the static fr…
Self-Focussing Dynamics in Monopolarly Charged Suspensions
Stephan M. Dammer, Dietrich E. Wolf
The Smoluchowski equation for irreversible aggregation in suspensions of equally charged particles is studied. Accumulation of charges during the aggregation process leads to a cro…
Collision Rates in Charged Granular Gases
T. Scheffler, D. E. Wolf
The dissipation rate due to inelastic collisions between equally charged, insulating particles in a granular gas is calculated. It is equal to the known dissipation rate for unchar…
Layer-by-layer growth for pulsed laser deposition
B. Hinnemann, F. Westerhoff, D. E. Wolf
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a popular growth method, which has been successfully used for fabricating thin films. Compared to continuous deposition (like molecular beam epitax…
Layer-by-layer pattern propagtion and pulsed laser deposition
F. Westerhoff, L. Brendel, D. E. Wolf
In this article kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and pulsed laser depositon (PLD) are compared. It will be shown that an optimal pattern conservatio…
