We investigate several growth stages of binary alloys, formed by co-deposition of A and B atoms on a flat substrate. We show that several so far unknown features emerge under co-deposition of two kinds of atoms: (i) Novel scaling relations for the density of stable islands in terms of the incoming fluxes, adatom diffusion coefficients and binding energies [1]. (ii) Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) in a certain temperature window as a result of a competition of shape and segregation effects [2]. (iii) Increase of structural anisotropy and PMA upon application of a strong magnetic field during growth. This latter feature is suggested by calculations based on Landau theory and can be confirmed by kinetic Monte Carlo simulations [3].
