They show a simulation of the sintering process, morphological changes upon heating of the ITO film, particle rotation prior to the merging, and the movement of a single particle. The supplementary online material also contains additional ITO in situ x-ray data. For more information on EPAPS, see http://www.aip.org/pubservs/epaps.html.
