Crystal growth in nano-confinement: subcritical cavity formation and viscosity effects
We report on the modeling of the formation of a cavity at the surface of crystals confined by a flat wall during growth in solution. Using a continuum thin film model, we discuss two phenomena that could be observed when decreasing the thickness of the liquid film between the crystal and the wall do...
