Figure 2: Retraction rates of edges in kinetically stable degrees of single-crystal Ni(100) and Ni(110) films. The samples were annealed at 900 °C under 2310 sccm reducing gas (5% H2 95% N2).  The experimental data are compared with a model that takes into account the effects of surface energy anisotropy. No fitting parameters were used. Appropriate equilibrium Winterbottom shapes are obtained using The Wulffenator<sup> [<a href=1] , a program for equilibrium shape generation." />
