The role of defects in solid state dewetting of ultrathin Ag film on Si(557)
2021, Scripta MaterialiaThermal stability of thin Au films deposited on salt whiskers
2021, Acta MaterialiaCitation Excerpt :The Au film becomes fully agglomerated into well separated islands after annealing for 60 min, with the islands on the edge being significantly smaller than their counterparts on the flat facets. Fully equilibrated Wulff shaped Au particles are not formed even after very long annealing for 7 days, because of the low homologous annealing temperature (0.47Tm, where Tm is the melting temperature of Au), and the defect-deficient nature of the single crystalline Au particles which impedes their equilibration [34,35]. Our experimental results on the SSD of thin Au film deposited on single crystalline KCl whisker raise questions about the physical reasons for the accelerated exposure of the whisker edges.
