Atomistic Simulations of Metallic Cluster Coalescence
A new computational method is introduced to investigate the stresses developed in the island-coalescence stage of polycrystalline film formation during deposition. The method uses molecular dynamics to examine the behavior of clusters of atoms both in free space and on substrates. Continuum treatmen...
