Solid state dewetting (also known as agglomeration) of thin films is a process in which a substrate beneath a thin film is exposed and the film itself transforms into an array of isolated particles at the temperatures below the melting point of the film material.

Here thin Au thin layer were dewetted at 700C for 5 hours. Among the round islands that were formed, an island which resembels to the great britian island was also observed.
