Abstract

The growth and evolution of one-dimensional nanostructures on metal stepped surfaces were studied using the kinetic Monte Carlo method. The distribution of nanochain lengths was shown to change differently when the substrate was heated and cooled. Regularities are described that connect the nature of changes in the length distribution and the relative values of diffusion barriers for adatoms on the surface, which will make it possible to predict the length distribution of the resulting one-dimensional nanostructures.
