Abstract

Computer simulations of III-V molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) show that surface reconstruction induced modulation of kinetic rates could give rise to ordering in alloys. Results are also presented for the possible influence of an external ion beam in achieving low temperature epitaxy as well as smoother growth front under usual conditions.
