Detailed Documentation

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis and modeling of physical processes and phenomena involved in thin film formation and growth. We will employ Monte Carlo methods, implementing stochastic algorithms to simulate random deposition events and surface diffusion, alongside Molecular Dynamics approaches that calculate atomic interactions using force fields like Lennard-Jones potentials to model growth kinetics. Additionally, the study will focus specifically on simulating porous silicon formation, where we'll implement etching algorithms and surface reaction models to investigate formation mechanisms. Through this research, we seek to gain deeper insights into the physical processes governing thin film formation and growth, providing more detailed theoretical support for related research fields through validated computational models.
