Sn(100) islands show an inverse roughness trend with thickness: flat for N<=10, corrugated for N>=26, and oscillating patterned coverage for 12<=N<=24 due to QSE roughening competing with tensile strain smoothening.

Interplay of Quantum Size Effect and Tensile Strain on Surface Morphology of Sn(100) Islands
Sn(100) islands show an inverse roughness trend with thickness: flat for N<=10, corrugated for N>=26, and oscillating patterned coverage for 12<=N<=24 due to QSE roughening competing with tensile strain smoothening.
