Fractal analysis was used for the description of the geometry of the clusters formed within the Monte Carlo simulation of the first monolayer growth on Si substrate. Pulse laser deposition method was assumed for the epitaxy. Layers were obtained for various substrate temperatures varying in the range from 600 K to 800 K. The topography of plane clusters formed were characterised by their fractal box-like dimension. The relation between this dimension and the shape of the clusters was addressed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
