Capillary Instability in Nanowire Geometries

In this study, we present atomistic simulations and theoretical analyses that reveal a capillary instability that is intrinsic to wetting geometries characteristic of the vapor–liquid–solid mechanism for nanowire growth. The analysis establishes a transition between axisymmetric and tilted wetting c...
