✦ Synopsis

We adapt the level set method to simulate the growth of thin films described by the motion of island boundaries. This island dynamics model involves a continuum in the lateral directions, but retains atomic scale discreteness in the growth direction. Several choices for the island boundary velocity are discussed, and computations of the island dynamics model using the level set method are presented. (~) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

We present a level set based numerical algorithm for simulating a model of epitaxial growth. The island dynamics model is a continuum model for the growth of thin films. In this paper, we emphasize the details of the numerical method used to simulate the island dynamics model.
