Abstract

A Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method is presented to describe the growth of metallic nanostructures through atomic and cluster deposition in the mono -and multilayer regime. The model makes provision for homo- and heteroepitaxial systems with small lattice mismatch. The accuracy of the model is tested with simulations of the growth of gold nanostructures on HOPG and comparisons are made with existing experimental data.
