Abstract in English:

The typical island distance in submonolayer epitaxial growth depends on the growth conditions via an exponent . This exponent is known to depend on the substrate dimensionality, the dimension of the islands, and the size i* of the critical nucleus for island formation. In this paper we study the dependence of on i* in one-dimensional epitaxial growth. We derive that for and confirm this result by computer simulations.
