Abstract
⺠We have developed a Kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm to study the growth of heteroepitaxial thin films. ⺠Strain effects are included via an atomistic model of elasticity. ⺠Elastic model of heteroepitaxy shows agreement with continuum surface elasticity calculations. ⺠Submonolayer growth studies show interplay of elastic energy and surface diffusion.
