DECOMPOSITION KINETICS AND PATTERNS FORMATION DURING BINARY ALLOY CO-DEPOSITION AT HIGH DEPOSITION RATES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Monte Carlo simulation of binary alloy co-deposition was revisited for high deposition rates and/or low diffusion rates. Deviations from the “classical” power-law dependence of the steady-state domain size (characteristic length) on deposition rate were obtained. The simulation results were compared with those of the developed semianalytical model.
