Using Thermal Crowding to Direct Pattern Formation on the Nanoscale
Ryan H. Allaire, Linda J. Cummings, Lou Kondic
Metal films and other geometries of nanoscale thickness, when exposed to laser irradiation, melt and evolve as fluids as long as their temperature is sufficiently high. This evolut…

The influence of thermal effects on the breakup of thin films of nanometric thickness
Ryan H. Allaire, Linda J. Cummings, Lou Kondic
We apply a previously developed asymptotic model (J. Fluid. Mech. 915, A133 (2021)) to study instabilities of free surface films of nanometric thickness on thermally conductive sub…

On efficient asymptotic modelling of thin films on thermally conductive substrates
Ryan H. Allaire, Linda J. Cummings, Lou Kondic
We consider a free surface thin film placed on a thermally conductive substrate and exposed to an external heat source in a setup where the heat absorption depends on the local fil…
