“…The etching of silver includes grain-boundary grooving [24], etch pitting [25,26] and faceting [27] and can be induced by temperature -thermal etching-and/or by reaction -catalytic etching [28,29]. The mechanisms of Ag surface reconstruction can be described from a thermodynamic point of view, the driving force being the minimisation of the total Gibbs energy [30].…”

“…Multiple parameters can impact the etching of silver. In addition to time and temperature, the presence of oxygen in the atmosphere surrounding the silver surface is known to enhance drastically the faceting and grainboundary grooving [27,29]. That is why extensive researches have been done in order to understand the key role of adsorbed oxygen and subsurface oxygen on these morphology changes during catalytic reactions [33,13,34,14,35].…”

“…These changes are generally gathered under the term "thermal etching", and were widely studied in the middle of the XX th century. It is widely accepted that the surface reconstructions are driven by the reduction in free surface energy coupled with possible evaporation and reaction processes [1][2][3]. However a large set of extrinsic parameters can impact on the development of these morphologies: atmosphere surrounding the surface, time and temperature of heat treatments, applied stress, or impurities in metal [4].…”

“…18 Faceting is a phenomenon in which a plane with a low surface energy grows on the sample surface under high temperature conditions. Grooves are generated at the grain boundaries.…”

“…In certain cases, the thermally etched plane grows a rippled surface. 18 In the case of a face-centeredcubic (FCC) like nickel, the surface energy increases in the following order; (111), (100), (110), and (210). According to the literature, the (111) and (100) facets have been observed on FCC surfaces.…”
