Two dimensional magnetic films with perpendicular magnetization spontaneously form magnetic domain patterns that evolve or undergo symmetry transformations as a function of temperature. When the system is driven from equilibrium by a rapid…

We present some results of Monte Carlo simulations for the deposition of particles of different sizes on a two-dimensional substrate. The particles are linear, height one, and can be deposited randomly only in the two, $x$ and $y$…

An extended elastic eigenvector approach for adatom interactions is applied to elastically isotropic substrates. The oscillating interactions between adatom monomers or dimers are caused by strain fields in the substrate. Expansive or…

We consider a thin ferromagnetic layer to which an external field or a current are applied along an in plane easy axis. The perpendicular hard axis anisotropy constant is large so that the out of plane magnetization component is smaller…

There is a growing interest, inspired by advances in technology, in the low temperature physics of thin films. These quasi-2D systems show a wide range of ordering effects including formation of striped states, reorientation transitions,…

We study a lattice model for the spreading of fluid films, which are a few molecular layers thick, in narrow channels with inert lateral walls. We focus on systems connected to two particle reservoirs at different chemical potentials,…

The nonequilibrium magnetic domain structure of growing ultrathin ferromagnetic films with a realistic atomic structure is studied as a function of coverage and temperature. We apply a kinetic Monte Carlo method to a micromagnetic model…

A model is introduced for the theoretical description of nanoscale magnetic films with high perpendicular anisotropy. In the model the magnetic film is described in terms of single domain magnetic grains, interacting via exchange as well as…

Thin film growth is investigated in two types of lattice gas models where substrate and film particles are different, expressed by unequal interaction energy parameters. The first is of solid-on-solid type, whereas the second type…

Lipid vesicles composed of a mixture of two types of lipids are studied by intensive Monte-Carlo numerical simulations. The coupling between the local composition and the membrane shape is induced by two different spontaneous curvatures of…

We have used molecular dynamics simulations for a comprehensive study of phase separation in a two-dimensional single component off-lattice model where particles interact through the Lennard-Jones potential. Via state-of-the-art methods we…

Low-dimensional boundaries between phases and domains in organic thin films are important in charge transport and recombination. Here, fluctuations of interfacial boundaries in an organic thin film, acridine-9-carboxylic acid (ACA) on…

We investigate the growth of a film of some element B on a substrate made of another substrance A in a model of molecular beam epitaxy. A vertical exchange mechanism allows the A-atoms to stay on the growing surface with a certain…

Using a combination of resonant soft x-ray scattering, magnetometry, x-ray reflectivity and microscopy techniques we have investigated the magnetic properties and microstructure of a series of perpendicular anisotropy Co/Pt multilayer films…

Domain structures appear in ultrathin magnetic films, if an easy-axis anisotropy, favouring the direction perpendicular to the film, overcomes the shape anisotropy. We will study the nature of the magnetic ground state and how the different…

We propose a generic model for thin films and shallow drops of a polar active liquid that have a free surface and are in contact with a solid substrate. The model couples evolution equations for the film height and the local polarization…

Thin films are usually obtained by depositing atoms with a continuous flux. We show that using a chopped flux changes the growth and the morphology of the film. A simple scaling analysis predicts how the island densities change as a…

We report a molecular dynamics simulation of a supercooled simple monatomic glass-forming liquid. It is found that the onset of the supercooled regime results in formation of distinct domains of slow diffusion which are confined to the…

Mullins' theory predicts the buildup of adatoms during surface diffusion at the edges of grooves where grain boundaries emerge to the surface of a polycrystalline film. However, the mesoscopic nature of this theory prevents the…

We study how the substrate temperature influences the structural properties of carbon films deposited by PVD (physical vapor deposition) techniques. We adapted a heating system inside the deposition chamber, with temperatures up to…
