Templated Solid-State Dewetting of Single Crystal Ni Thin Films

Solid thin films are generally metastable in the as-deposited state and will undergo dewetting if they are heated. Dewetting can occur at temperatures well below the film’s melting temperature so that the film remains in the solid-state. Solid-state dewetting of thin films is driven by surface energ...
