Dewetting is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature; many different thin films of organic and
inorganic substances (such as liquids, polymers, metals, and semiconductors) share this …

Subwavelength-sized dielectric Mie resonators have recently emerged as a promising
photonic platform, as they combine the advantages of dielectric microstructures and metallic …

The solid-state dewetting phenomenon in Ge layers on SiO2 is investigated as a function of
layer thickness d Ge (from 10 to 86 nm) and annealing temperature. The dewetting is …

In this work, we propose a novel efficient strategy based on the combination of molecular
beam epitaxy deposition and the solid-state dewetting process for the growth and self …

Active light-emitting all-dielectric nanoantennas recently have demonstrated great potential
as highly efficient nanoscale light sources owing to their strong luminescent and Raman …

Nanowires and narrow wires patterned from thin films are usually subject to a Rayleigh-like
instability and, when heated, will undergo evolution to particles with a characteristic size and …

Thin film dewetting can be efficiently exploited for the implementation of functionalized
surfaces over very large scales. Although the formation of sub‐micrometer sized crystals via …

The goal of this study was to explore the possibility to control the nucleation and expansion
of holes during initial stages of solid state dewetting of thin polycrystalline Au film deposited …

We use low-resolution optical lithography joined with solid state dewetting of crystalline,
ultra-thin silicon on insulator (c-UT-SOI) to form monocrystalline, atomically smooth, silicon …

Continuous thin films of Pt on A-plane 1 1 2¯ 0 sapphire substrates were dewetted to
characterize the morphological evolution and dewetting kinetics at 800° C using an oxygen …
