Effects of Crystalline Anisotropy on Solid-state Dewetting

Solid-state dewetting is the process by which micro– and nano–scale films, wires, and other fabricated structures on a substrate evolve toward geometries which reduce the overall surface free energy of the system. This process, also sometimes referred to as agglomeration, occurs at elevated temperat...
