Defect engineering plays an essential role in materials science and is of paramount importance in thin-film device fabrication. Novel experimental methods are needed to identify and quantify defects during film growth. The Debye temperature (DT) of a solid is a representation of the stiffness and so is sensitive to defect concentrations. The DT tends to decrease in the vicinity of the surface...

free-boundary problem. A common case in nature is the formation of icicles,
which grow as liquid water flows down the surface, freezing as it descends.
Theories of icicle growth have always assumed a thin liquid coat over the
entire icicle's surface. These theories predict the growth in length and mean
diameter...
