摘要
We model the adatom life time for island growth in the general case of spatially correlated nuclei. The model is based on a stochastic approach, which relies on the use of the m-dots spatial correlation functions. The adatom life time is evaluated in the entire range of surface coverage. The impact of the spatial correlation among nuclei on the life time is analysed and discussed also with reference to the case of random nucleation. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
