【 摘 要 】

We have carried out simulations using various methods on models of epitaxial growth. We have investigated both homoepitaxial as well as heteroepitaxial growth. We have studied the effects of evaporation, island coarsening, strain due to lattice mismatch, three dimensional islands submonolayer growth, and self-organization in quantum dot superlattices. The results of our investigations are of significance to the understanding of material properties at the nanoscale.
