Prediction of Self-Assembled Dewetted Nanostructures for Photonics Applications via a Continuum Mechanics Framework

Louis Martin-Monier, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Pierre-Luc Piveteau +2

When a liquid film lies on a non-wettable substrate, the configuration is unstable and the film then retracts from a solid substrate to form droplets. This phenomenon, known as dew…
