“…The spontaneous growth of metal whiskers from a solid surface is an interesting phenomenon which has been studied for many years [1][2][3][4][5][6], which was reported in many metals or alloys system such as Ag [1], Cd [2,3], Sn [4][5][6][7][8], Zn [9,10], Al [11], In [12], and Pb [13]. Among them, tin whiskers were extensively studied because both the Sn-based plating and solders have been widely used in electronic industry.…”
