Abstract
The process of metal droplet formation and motion during a high-temperature annealing under the Langmuir evaporation conditions is studied by Monte Carlo simulation. The nanosized droplet motion mechanism during a high-temperature annealing is suggested. The reason for the droplet motion is the lateral drop-crystal interface dissolution in a liquid metal. The movement direction is determined by the difference in the (111)A and (111)B crystal facet dissolution rates. The step movement deceleration near the droplet can be a cause of step bunching.
