Abstract
In the initial stages of their growth, thin metal films deposited on dielectric substrates in high vacuum consist of individual three-dimensional islands. In the contribution an atomistic model of film growth is described and derived results discussed. The model is based on a molecular dynamics description of nucleation process followed by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation of three-dimensional growth. For the discussion of results the algorithms of mathematical morphology are used.
