Crystallization processes in bicomponent thin film depositions: Towards a realistic kinetic Monte Carlo simulation

The novel approach allows obtaining amorphous, crystalline and mixed structures (i.e. nanocomposites), depending solely on the synthesis parameters. In addition, we have developed a method for the analysis of deposited structures based on their degree of order. The influence of different deposition parameters such as temperature or composition is discussed in detail. GEM-CA reproduces experimentally observed trends of bi-component film deposition.
