The harmonic interactions assumed in the Frank-van der Merwe model are replaced by Toda and Morse potentials in order to study the effect of anharmonicity on the equilibrium properties of thin epitaxial films. The extended model predicts the following. 1. (i) The misfit stability limits for pseu...
Different growth mechanisms of van der Waals heteroepitaxial 2D Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 stacking by choosing different substrates are reported. Sequential Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 stacking growth mode becomes layer-by-layer growth on h-BN substrates, and 3D island growth on SiO2/Si. Compressive strain in the h-BN...
Underlined by these examples, it is shown that the precise control of an epitaxially coherent, or two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth, named after Jan van der Merwe, is a prerequisite to achieve the desired functionality of oxide-oxide and oxide-nitride superlattices....

Heteroepitaxial growth of 2% lattice-mismatched EuTe on PbTe(111) by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated in the two-dimensional layer-by-layer growth regime (Frank van der Merwe growth mode) combining scanning tunnelling microscopy and in-situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The ...
Static calculation and preliminary kinetic Monte Carlo simulation studies are\nundertaken for the nucleation and growth on a model system which follows a\nFrank-van der Merwe mechanism. In the present case, we consider the deposition\nof Ag on Au(100) and Au(111) surfaces. The interactions ...
On the Si(111)-(7 x 7) surface Ph grows in the Stranski-Krastanov mode, on the Si(111)-(root3 x root3)R30 degrees -Au and on the Si(111)-(6 x 6)-Au surface in the quasi-Frank-van der Merwe (layer-by-layer) mode. On the Si(111)-(root3 x root3)R30 degrees -Ag ...
