Further Information

Nucleation of heteroepitaxial films and growth of films and crystals is described by a unified approach combining the kinetic theory of nucleation of thin films with the classical terrace-ledge-kink (TLK) model of crystal growth. The processes of formation of a new phase on vicinal surfaces of crystals are studied. It is shown that the evolution of atoms adsorbed on vicinal surfaces consists of three stages. Two stages are considered in Part I. During the first stage a new phase is nucleated rapidly on substrate steps giving rise, under certain conditions, to cigar-shaped clusters and islands of specific shape are formed much less rapidly on terraces. During the second stage the cigar-shaped clusters grow and interact with the ensemble of islands.
