Description:
Author(s): Anna Chame and Olivier Pierre-Louis We investigate the dewetting dynamics of ultrathin solid metal films. In these films, quantum confinement of electrons is known to produce a complex wetting potential, leading to “magic thicknesses” which are strongly favored energetically. We introduce a kinetic Monte Carlo model which accounts for... [Phys. Rev. B 90, 195408] Published Fri Nov 07, 2014
