  ABSTRACT: We consider a continuum model for the evolution of an epitaxially strained, dislocation-free thin solid film on a deformable substrate. In the absence of vapor deposition, we incorporate isotropic surface and strain energies along with a two-layer exponential wetting model. Applying a thin-film approximation, we successfully derive the corresponding evolution equation.
