Hidden reservoir dynamics in oxygen temperature-programmed desorption from rhodium: A two-layer kinetic Monte Carlo study

Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) spectra constrain coupled surface kinetics but do not necessarily identify a unique microscopic pathway. We develop a two-layer kinetic Monte Carlo model for oxygen desorption from rhodium, including reversible surface–subsurface exchange,...

Objective-driven morphology control through scanning-probe-inspired postgrowth perturbations

In this study, we combine a kinetic Monte Carlo model of submonolayer growth with scanning-probe-inspired localized postgrowth perturbations to examine morphology control after deposition. This approach offers a route to reshape an already grown surface, but selecting an effectiv...
