Abstract: By using a Cahn-Hoffman -vector formulation, we propose a sharp-interface approach for solving solid-state dewetting problems in two dimensions. First, based on the thermodynamic variation and smooth vector-field perturbation method, we rigorously derive a sharp-interface model with weakly anisotropic surface energies, and this model describes the interface evolution which occurs through surface diffusion flow and contact line migration. Second, a parametric finite element method in terms of the -vector formulation is proposed for numerically solving the sharp-interface model. By performing numerical simulations, we examine several specific evolution processes for solid-state dewetting of thin films, e.g., the evolution of small islands, pinch-off of large islands and power-law retraction dynamics of semi-infinite step films, and these simulation results are highly consistent with experimental observations. Finally, we also include the strong surface energy anisotropy into the sharp-interface model and design its corresponding numerical scheme via the -vector formulation.
