• lateral oxygen atoms which inhibit a tight package of the molecules. Thus the resulting layers have a strong curvature and form tubules with a circular cross-section (Figure 13). Today, the progress in molecular dynamics simulations enables the calculation of the behaviour of nano-structured surfaces in

• far from thermal equilibrium forming due to the complex landing kinetics of the smaller particles which are connected with the spontaneous reorientation process. Recent molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations give microscopic insight into the processes in nanoparticle deposition experiments [65]. In
