Abstract:

We present calculations of surface growth in laser-focused nanostructure fabrication. We show that theoretical predictions of the structures profile’s shape depend sensitively on the model used to describe the growth, and also on the parameters chosen within the model. The sensitivity illustrates that growth effects can play a major role in laser-focused atomic deposition, and also suggests that this process could be utilized for studies of surface growth mechanisms.
