How metal films de-wet substrates - identifying the kinetic pathways and energetic driving forces
Kevin F. McCarty, John C. Hamilton, Yu Sato +8
We study how single-crystal chromium films of uniform thickness on W(110) substrates are converted to arrays of three-dimensional (3D) Cr islands during annealing. We use low-energ…

Dislocation Emission around Nanoindentations on a (001) fcc Metal Surface Studied by STM and Atomistic Simulations
O. Rodriguez de la Fuente, J. A. Zimmerman, M. A. Gonzalez +4
We present a combined study by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and atomistic simulations of the emission of dissociated dislocation loops by nanoindentation on a (001) fcc surface. T…
