Deterministic three-dimensional self-assembly of Si through a rimless and topology-preserving dewetting regime

Abstract

No further publication processing will occur until we receive your response to this proof. Attached is a PDF proof of your forthcoming article in Physical Review Materials. Your article has 8 pages and the Accession Code is ME10125. Please note that as part of the production process, APS converts all articles, regardless of their original source, into standardized XML that in turn is used to create the PDF and online versions of the article as well as to populate third-party systems such as Portico, Crossref, and Web of Science. We share our authors' high expectations for the fidelity of the conversion into XML and for the accuracy and appearance of the final, formatted PDF. This process works exceptionally well for the vast majority of articles; however, please check carefully all key elements of your PDF proof, particularly any equations or tables.

Influence of step structure on preferred orientation relationships of Ag deposited on Ni(111)

“…4). This is presumably related to the very rapid surface self-diffusion on the (111) Ag surface as explained in [31]. Auger analysis of the film surface chemistry after annealing did not show any sign of oxygen, but did indicate the presence of a trace of sulfur.…”
