“…3B). A qualitatively identical size dependence of both equilibrium and growth forms of particles has been experimentally demonstrated for a wide range of particle/substrate systems, including those for which the particles partially wet the substrate, e.g., InAs on GaP(001) (10), and those for which the particles fully wet the substrate, e.g., Si x Ge 1Ϫx on Si(001) (5,6,29,30), CoSi 2 on Si(001) (7,31), Au-Si on Si(111) (32), and InGaAs on various orientations of GaAs (33).…”
