With gravity normal to the facet the exponent may change to 3. Generally, there will be a crossover from 3 to (3/2 as the facet edge is approached. Comparison with experiments is made.en-USIn Copyrightphysics, condensed matterArticle - Refereedhttp://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.37.6611https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.37.6611
