Abstract
We discuss effects of the different chemical bondings on the island morphology and on the island density scaling in two-component submonolayer growth. Different regimes depending on the strength of the mutual interactions and on the relative mobility of species are described and studied by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations using a two-component solid-on-solid growth model. Results for the temperature and flux dependence of the island density as well as examples of the surface morphologies are presented.
