Lattice gas modeling of nanowhisker growth.
Building upon the ideas of Gerischer et al., we have developed a cellular automaton for the growth dynamics of nanowhiskers. We present two models for the whisker growth. The first is a simple extension of the surface model, whereas the second includes diffusion on the rim of the whiskers. Results for one-dimensional calculations are presented and discussed, together with a comparison between the two models and with experimental results as well.
