AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">Two-component submonolayer growth on triangular lattice is qualitatively
studied by kinetic Monte Carlo techniques. The hopping barrier governing surface
diffusion of the atoms is estimated using pair interaction potentials. Several degrees
of freedoms enhancing the surface diffusion of atoms are also introduced. The main
advantages of the presented technique are the reduced number of free parameters and
the clear diffusion activated mechanism for the segregation of different types of atoms.
The potential of this method is exemplified by reproducing (i) phase-boundary creation and dynamics related to vacancies and stacking faults; (ii) a special co-deposition
and segregation process where the segregated atoms of the second component surround the islands formed by the first type of atoms.</p>
