Ag Nanotwin-Assisted Grain Growth-Induced by Stress in SiO2/Ag/SiO2 Nanocap Arrays

A trilayer SiO2/Ag/SiO2 nanocap array was prepared on a two-dimensional template. When annealed at different temperatures, the curvature of the SiO2/Ag/SiO2 nanocap arrays increased, which led to Ag nanocap shrinkage. The stress provided by the curved SiO2 layer induced the formation of Ag nanotwins...
