Abstract

The stress distributions in an epitaxial island were studied by a three dimensional concurrent atomistic/continuum analysis. The island and the adjacent substrate were modeled by molecular dynamics method. Finite element method was used for the analysis. It was found that the nonlinear elasticity based on the atomic potential is required for a smooth stress transition in the overlapping zone.
