  • Abstract
    We adapt the level set method to simulate the growth of thin films described by the motion of island boundaries. This island dynamics model involves a continuum in the lateral directions, but retains atomic scale discreteness in the growth direction. Several choices for the island boundary velocity are discussed, and computations of the island dynamics model using the level set method are presented.
