The process described in part I is shown to involve not only overturning and anchoring but also surface diffusion, the rate of which has been determined. A two-dimensional melting-point of 52°C is found for stearic acid monolayers on mica and the energies of activation for diffusion found to be 42 and 21 kcal/gmol below and above this temperature respectively. In multilayers surface diffusion over the first monolayer deposited on the substrate proceeds much more rapidly than that of the monolayer.

Nanostructured bulk silicon (bulk nano-Si) has attracted attention as an advanced thermoelectric (TE) material due to its abundance and low toxicity.
