✦ Synopsis


It is shown that limited surface diffusion may strongly modify properties of the film surface. For linear samples, when some analytical results are known for random deposition, the fractal dimension D of the surface is discussed. Model predictions and computer simulation shows that D < 1 for the static case, when assembly of clusters is scanned. The surface is smoother for positive binding energy between atoms, and more rough otherwise. With zero binding energy, analytical results of random growth is recovered.

A novel Monte Carlo procedure is applied to the study of the kinetics of grain growth in two dimensions. The model employed maps the microstructure onto a discrete lattice. Each lattice site is assigned a number. between 1 and Q. which indicates the local crystallographic orientation. The initial di
