Abstract: A lattice kinetic Monte Carlo model for nano-crystal growth is presented and discussed in detail. As an example, we performed case studies of thin film growth. The result shows that an alteration of three-dimensional (3D) Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES)barrier leads to shape transition of islands with multiple atomic layers in thin film growth.

Key words: kinetic Monte Carlo, nano-crystal growth
