No line tension at trijunction

Force balance is always kept as,

Solving the above integral, we can get the equilibrium shape of the nanowire grown by steady state process.

Non-zero line tension

The force balance equation in this situation will change as

if , there will be a tendency to increase the trijunction radius; while if , the tendency should be to reduce the trijunction radius. [1]
