Abstract:
The equilibrium shape of a crystal in an infinite or a semi-infinite system has been known for decades. Here, we consider shapes of droplets which straddle two semifinite systems, joint at a planar, common boundary, such as a grain boundary of twinned crystals. For arbitrary anisotropic surface tensions, this problem is solved, in two dimensions. Some examples and special limits are shown.
