Glasses and supercooled liquids tend to crystallize below the melting temperature. Crystallization is a phase transformation where the atomic structure ceases to be non-crystalline and becomes periodic. The focus of this ...

The control of the microstructure of BaTiO3 films grown on titanium by the hydrothermal–electrochemical method was investigated. Experiments were conducted in a three-electrode high-pressure electrochemical cell in a ...

The crystal nucleation rates of a metastable phase (chi) on the surface of a near stoichiometric cordierite glass were determined for temperatures between 839 and 910 degrees C (T-g similar to 800 degrees C). The surface ...

In miniemulsion polymerization, droplets nucleation is the key factor to ensure the production of polymer particles with a desired composition. The influence of the initiation on droplets nucleation is even conflicting and ...

We study the stationary solutions of the real Ginzburg{Landau equation with periodic boundary conditions in a nite box. We show explicitly how to construct nucleation solutions allowing transitions between stable plane waves.

Abstract We studied the stochastic nature of heterogeneous nucleation of supercooled liquid water by molecular dynamics simulations. The systems were composed of 768 molecules; M of them had their positions restricted ...

The mechanisms related to the initial stages of the nucleation and growth of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin films on the rough face side of a (1 0 0) monocrystalline n-type silicon have been studied as a function of different ...

An investigation of nucleate boiling on a vertical array of horizontal plain tubes is presented in this paper. Experiments were performed with refrigerant RI 23 at reduced pressures varying from 0.022 to 0.64, tube pitch ...
