Monte Carlo simulation of GaAs(001) homoepitaxy
  By carrying out Monte Carlo simulations based on the two-species atomic-scale kinetic growth model of GaAs(001) homoepitaxy and comparing the results with scanning tunneling microscope images, we show that initial growing islands undergo the structural transformation before adopting the proper beta2(2x4) reconstruction.
