Does molten Indium wet SiO2 surface?
Yuanbo Zhang

Hi all,

I am trying to thermally evaporate ~30nm Indium film onto SiO2
substrate, then heat it up
  to the melting temperature of Indium. Does anyone know if Indium wets
SiO2 surface?
  If it does NOT wet, how is the adhesion between Indium and SiO2? If it
does wet, what
kind of substrate should I use to get a non-wetting contact?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
