Interplay of Strain, Growth Kinetics and Surface Bonding in Growth Modes and Dislocation Generation in Strained Heteroepitaxy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
In this paper we examine the role of strain and growth kinetics on the growth modes in pseudomorphic growth. Regimes below critical thickness and above critical thickness are examined. Based on atomistic modelling and in-situ RHEED and STM studies we show that a competition between surface chemical energy and strain energy is shown to lead to 3-dimensional blend mode for high strain pseudomorphy. Consequences for dislocation generation are discussed.
