Abstract

A kinetic Monte Carlo approach is developed for studying growth and evaporation of nanoparticles on/off nanotubes. This study has been motivated by the recent experimental advances in using nanoparticle evaporation (sublimation) off nanoparticle-decorated nanotubes for nanoscale "thermometry." We demonstrate that the considered kinetic Monte Carlo approach can reproduce features of the process that are not included in the phenomenological thermodynamic modeling, as well as provide snapshots of the growth and evaporation process morphology.
