  Using large-scale kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulations, we investigate the
non-equilibrium surface growth of the fullerene C$_{60}$. Recently, we have
presented a self-consistent set of energy barriers that describes the
nucleation and multilayer growth of C$_{60}$ for different temperatures and
adsorption rates in quantitative agreement with experiments [Bommel et al.,
Nat. Comm. 5, 5388 (2014)]. We found that C$_{60}$ displays lateral diffusion
resembling colloidal systems, however it has to overcome an atom-like energetic
step-edge barrier for interlayer diffusion. Here, we focus on the
particle-resolved dynamics, and the interplay between surface morphology and
particle dynamics during growth. Comparing C$_{60}$ growth with an atom-like
system, we find significant differences in the evolution of the surface
morphology, as well as the single-particle dynamics on the growing material
landscape. By correlating the mean-squared-displacement of particles with their
current neighborhood, we can identify the influence of the different time
scales that compete during growth and can pinpoint the differences between the
two systems.
