TLDR
In this article, the kinetics of mobility coalescence in a thin discontinuous film are investigated provided that the deposition is completed and the process proceeds in a pure form, and the analysis is made on the basis of the mathematical formalism developed by Smoluchowski for description of the colloid rapid coagulation.About:

Nucleation and growth of thin films
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic physical processes involved in the nucleation and growth of thin films of materials on solid surfaces are described, and the relationships between the thermodynamics of adsorption and the kinetics of crystal growth are explored in general terms.

Scanning tunnelling microscopy study of the growth of small palladium particles on TiO2(110)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermal stability of small palladium clusters on a TiO 2 (110) surface and concluded that the coalescence of diffusing particles is the main mechanism.

Structure and growth of thin films
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an up-to-date review of the most fundamental aspects of thin film growth and analysis of the three main growth modes: Volmer-Weber, Frank and Van der Merwe, and Stranski-Krastanov.

Thin film island growth kinetics: a grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering study of gold on glass
TL;DR: In this article, the growth during deposition and during post-deposition annealing of gold islands (40-80 A in diameter) on glass substrates have been examined quantitatively and in situ with grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS).

Study of the Initial Stages of Sintering Solids by Viscous Flow, Evaporation‐Condensation, and Self‐Diffusion
W. D. Kingery,M. Berg +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a model is presented for the behavior of copper during the initial stages of sintering, which is in agreement with available experimental data, and which requires vacancy elimination at dislocations or grain boundaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rate equation approaches to thin film nucleation kinetics
TL;DR: In this article, the nucleation and growth of crystals on a substrate are discussed in terms of rate equations for the atom cluster concentrations as a function of time and simple approximations allow this general set of equations to be reduced to three coupled equations.

The coagulation of hydrosols by brownian motion and laminar shear flow

TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced form of the particle size distribution function, designated as self-preserving, was found to satisfy Smoluchowski's equations of coagulation by Brownian motion and shear flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
The growth and structure of gold and silver deposits formed by evaporation inside an electron microscope
TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-quantitative explanation of the liquid-like behavior of the initial metal nuclei is given in terms of the surface diffusion of the metal atoms over the metal islands, the driving force for the mass transfer being the associated reduction in surface energy.
