By carrying out Monte Carlo simulations based on the two-species atomic-scalekinetic growth model of GaAs(001) homoepitaxy and comparing the results withscanning tunneling microscope images, we show that initial growing islandsundergo the structural transformation before adopting the proper beta2(2x4)reconstruction.
