MODELING THE INITIAL STAGE OF FORMATION OF NANOWHISKERS ON AN ACTIVATED SUBSTRATE. PART 2. NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF Au−Si NANOWHISKERS ON A SILICON SUBSTRATE

Calculations of the initial stage of nanowhisker growth on silicon surfaces were performed using the method of simulation of molecular dynamics. It is shown that the diffusion flux contributes significantly to the formation of nanowhiskers.
