Dendritic structures, or tree-like branching patterns that emerge during growth, pose a major challenge to large-area fabrication of thin-film devices, a key step toward commercial application. They ...

The growth process conditions significantly influence the microstructure of these films, which in turn influences their function and performance. Dendritic structures, or tree-like branching patterns ...

Linking structure and process in dendritic growth using persistent homology with energy analysis. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, 2025; DOI: 10.1080/27660400.2025.2475735; ...

Kotsugi explains, “Our framework quantitatively maps dendritic morphology to Gibbs free energy variations, revealing energy gradients that drive branching behavior.” To validate their approach, the ...

Although these approaches are capable of generating dendritic structures that closely replicate the statistical properties of both developing and mature biological dendrites (Koene et al., 2009; Cuntz ...

The challenge of dendrite growth is a formidable obstacle that leads to short circuits when charging lithium (Li)-metal batteries. Implementing patterns with various pit structures on Li metal proves ...

The relative speeds of dendrite growth are of interest here to illustrate the effects of voltage and contamination, however. Test Results. Figure 3 shows dendrites growing on clean substrates after ...

Studies investigating the role of the ECM in dendritic growth are summarised in Table 3. Laminin was found to promote neurite outgrowth in cultured neurons (Lander et al., 1985), and it regulates ...

Li metal has attracted considerable attention as the preferred anode material for high-energy batteries. However, Li dendrites have limited the development of Li-metal batteries. Herein, the effects ...

Electrochemical migration (ECM) is an ongoing reliability issue in the microelectronics industry. ECM is characterized by the presence of dendrites, which form between two electrodes with a nonzero ...
