Abstract

This chapter deals with the thermodynamics and kinetics of nucleation on surfaces, which is essential to the growth of single crystals and thin epitaxial films. The starting point is the equilibrium of an infinitely large crystal and a crystal with a finite size with their ambient phase. When the system deviates from equilibrium density fluctuations or aggregates acquire the tendency to unlimited growth beyond some critical size – the nucleus of the new phase. The Gibbs free energy change of formation of the nuclei is calculated within the framework of the macroscopic thermodynamics and in terms of dangling bonds in the case of small clusters. In the case of nucleation from vapor the nuclei consist as a rule of very small number of atoms. That is why the rate of nucleation is also considered in the limit of high supersaturations. The effect of defect sites and overlapping of nucleation exclusion zones with reduced supersaturation formed around the growing nuclei is accounted for in determining the saturation nucleus density. The latter scales with the ratio of the surface diffusion coefficient and the atom arrival rate. The scaling exponent is a function of the critical nucleus size and depends on the process which controls the frequency of attachment of atoms to the critical nuclei to produce stable clusters, either the surface diffusion or the incorporation of atoms to the critical nuclei. The nucleation on top of two-dimensional (2-D) islands is considered as a reason for roughening in homoepitaxial growth. The mechanism of formation of three-dimensional (3-D) islands in heteroepitaxial growth is also addressed. The effect of surface-active species on the rate of nucleation is explored.
