Solid-state dewetting of Ag/Ni bi-layers: Accelerated void formation by the stress gradient in the bottom Ni layer
Solid-state dewetting (SSD) of the immiscible Ag/Ni bi-layers was studied. After annealing at
400° C for 1 min, the Ag film was dewetted on the Ni film, and this is the first observation …
