38. 2) used in this work. This effect slows the growth of nanopillars but does not significantly alter the dominant wavelength for the parameter range pertinent to experiment. This behavior is expected from Eq. in which the melt viscosity does not appear since the fluid flux due to TC and capillary stresses both scale inversely with the melt viscosity.
