Abstract
Silver films grown on mica or molybdenite substrates often contain defects which are lined up with one another. Evidence is presented that this alignment is caused by steps on the substrate surface. It is shown that the alignment of defects along steps is not surprising if the defects are formed by the coalescence of nuclei.Keywords
