Summary of Nanowire Growth Mechanism

Yanming Wang and Seunghwa Ryu

Isotropic Material Nanowire Statics

No line tension at trijunction

$V_{L}={\frac {\pi }{3}}({\frac {r}{sin(\beta )}})^{3}(1-cos(\beta ))^{2}(2+cos(\beta ))$

Force balance is always kept as

$\sigma _{LV}cos(\beta )=\sigma _{SV}cos(\alpha )-\sigma _{LS}$
