摘要: We simulate in three dimensions molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of CdTe/ZnTe/Si using classical dynamics. Atomic interactions are simulated with Stillinger–Weber potentials, whose parameters obtained by fitting to experimental data or density function theory-calculated distortion energies the component crystals. The effects substrate temperature and atomic species flux ratios on epilayer morphology investigated. agreement between simulations experiments suggests that this model has reasonable ability predict microstructures grown MBE.
