Heteroepitaxial growth on silicon surface : a Monte Carlo study

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the initial stages of the growth of heteroepitaxial films on Si substrates. Two prototype systems were chosen for this research: first is Ge/Si(001), where the two species have similar chemical properties; second is CaF2/Si(111), in which the ionic epitax...
