Solid -state dewetting in Pd/a-Ge bilayers

Key Points

• Solid-state dewetting occurs in palladium/germanium bilayers, affecting their structural integrity.
• Key evidence shows that this phenomenon influences the morphology of patterns formed during cooling phases.
• Observational analysis across various temperature gradients highlights the dynamics of solid-state dewetting.
• Potential impacts suggest avenues for enhancing the properties of thin films in electronic applications.
