Abstract :
The submonolayer homoepitaxial growth on Ag(1 1 0) is studied by using a variable-temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope. The evolution of island density is studied as a function of temperature at given flux (≈0.0025 ML s−1) and coverage (0.16 ML) to evaluate the energy barriers and the binding energies for the in-channel and cross-channel diffusion. The experimental results are compared with kinetic Monte Carlo simulation.
