The spreading of small droplets (50–200μm) of Hg on thin Ag films has been studied, using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The growing rough surfaces have been analyzed in order to determine the roughness (α) and growth (β) exponents....

The spreading of a small mercury droplet (150μm) on thin gold films is studied, using an optical microscope enhanced with a differential interference contrast system. The growing interfaces are analyzed in order to determine the roughness (α) and growth (β) exponents. For gold film thickness...

The spreading of small droplets (50–200 μm of Hg on thin Ag films has been studied. The Hg front formation mechanism has been determined using optical microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) analyses. The dynamics and geometry of the growing rough...
