We predicted a new shape of the temperature dependence of island
density for Pulse Laser Deposition. The shape is characterized by
alternation of regions of fast decrease and plateaus corresponding to
existence of small stable islands. This effect is caused by changing
of a relation between cluster decay time and interval between pulses
with temperature.
