    Summary: We study the instability of the traveling waves of a sixth-order parabolic equation which arises naturally as a continuum model for the formation of quantum dots and their faceting. We prove that some traveling wave solutions are nonlinear unstable under \(H^4\) perturbations. These traveling wave solutions converge to a constant as \(x \rightarrow \infty\).
