摘要：

Surface phenomena are increasingly becoming important in exploring nanoscale materials growth and characterization. Consequently, the need for atomistic based simulations is increasing. Recently, we proposed a machine learning approach, known as AGNI, that allows fast and quantum mechanical accurate atomic force predictions given an atom's neighborhood environment. Here, we make use of such force fields to study and characterize the nanoscale diffusion and growth processes occurring on an Al (111) surface. In particular we focus on the adatom ripening phenomena, confirming past experimental findings, wherein a low and high temperature growth regime were observed using entirely molecular dynamics simulations.
