Abstract

It is argued that the elastic interaction between adatoms on a substrate generally depends on applied strain. Based on this premise, a continuum-level point-defect model of adatoms with strain-dependent properties is developed. It is then used to demonstrate that applied strain might provide enough control over adatom interactions to self-assemble certain nanostructures. By studying the long-range pair interaction between adatoms, it is found that strain can cause adatom pairs to align themselves in particular directions and modulate their interaction between repulsion and attraction.
