Liu, Feng | Self-assembly of three-dimensional metal islands: nonstrained versus strained islands | A theoretical model for the Volmer-Weber growth of three-dimensional metal islands is proposed, with a dipolar island edge-edge interaction. The existence of such an island edge effect makes the island shape dependent on island size. Furthermore, it induces a stable island size against coarsening, l... | Self-assembly; Three dimensional islands; Metal islands; Nonstrained islands; Strained islands; Volmer-Weber growth | 2002-11 |
