Defect-mediated Nucleation

Defect-Mediated Nucleation is a nucleation mechanism in thin film growth wherein surface or substrate defects act as preferential sites for the initiation and stabilization of new phases or islands, thereby reducing the kinetic and energetic barriers to nucleation compared to defect-free regions.
