Kinetics of ordering during codeposition
The kinetics of ordering in fcc alloys during codeposition is investigated by the kinetic mean field method in the pair approximation. The evolutions of the order parameters are calculated. It is found that. the kinetic path involves various stages of relaxation and there are transient ordered states during codeposition. The influence of the two characteristic times related to the adsorption and the atomic migration on the kinetics of growth is analyzed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
