Pre-existing active path mechanism

On the basis of the progress made in the understanding of the see phenomenon in recent years, the existing mechanisms of See can be divided into three categories (1) pre-existing active path mechanisms, (2) strain assisted active path mechanism and (3) adsorption related mechanisms [64-66]. These subdivisions are only from a point of view of understanding of one continuous process with only shift of emphasis from one...
