Abstract
We perform a comprehensive study of the formation of three dimensional (pyramidal) structures in a large range of conditions, including the possible evaporation of adatoms from the surface and the presence of surface defects. We compare our computer simulations to theoretical calculations of the growth and find good agreement between them. This work clarifies precedent studies of three dimensional growth and predicts the island size distributions obtained in the different regimes. Finally, we show how our analysis can be used to interpret experimental data.
