Nucleation nucleus shape

The primary nucleation on the surface of the NA is a kind of heterogeneous nucleation [25]. NA is a so called heterogeneity . In this study, all nucleation is limited to the heterogeneous nucleation. The shape of a heterogeneous nucleus is assumed parallelepiped with length of a stem l and the number of stems m and n. Here /, m, and n are counted by the number of atom...

Calculating Minimum Viable Nucleus Size (r ) and Nucleation Activation Energy ( G ) Since a spherical nucleus minimizes the amount of interfacial area per unit volume, it represents the most likely nucleus shape. The total free-energy change, AG t, involved in forming a spherical nucleus of radius r is therefore... 

It would appear then that the reversal of 180° domains in a ferroelectric might be a simple system to use as a test of solid-solid nucleation theories without so many of the complexities of nucleus shape, transport mechanism, surface energy, and volume change found within most other systems. It is therefore intended to outline the current state of knowledge of ferroelectric domains and their nucleation and kinetics, with particular reference to ionic materials. 

They were evaluated from our analysis of the primary nucleation and lateral growth rates and that of the l dependence to the melting temperature Tm using the Gibbs-Thomson equation. Insertion of the parameters given by Eq. 20 into Eq. 6 shows that the shape of a nucleus is a long thin rectangular parallelepiped with the ratio of... 

Fig. 20 Chain sliding diffusion model of primary nucleation. Polymer chains are rearranged from Gaussian shape within the melt into a nucleus through chain sliding diffusion within the nucleus and disentanglement within the interface. Bottom graph indicates change in free energy of the nucleus against N...

However, the dislocation is practically infinitely long compared to the size of any realistic critical nucleus. If the nucleus were of uniform radius along a long length of the dislocation, AQc would be very large. A critical nucleus will form from a local fluctuation in the form of a bulge of the cylinder associated with the metastable state A, as illustrated in Fig. 19.16. The problem is thus to find the particular bulged-out shape that corresponds to a minimum activation barrier for nucleation. 

Hence, we suggest the following model of Zn O nucleus-clusters. The nucleus-cluster has the shape of the truncated tetrahedron with 12 atoms of zinc and one atom of oxygen in the center (inset of Fig. 1). Such nucleus-cluster is a loosely coupled system formed by an atom of oxygen and 12 equidistant atoms of zinc. Scattering in zinc vapor at increased partial pressure of oxygen, facilitates the nucleation and growth of (OOOl)ZnO whiskers on four facets of the Zn O cluster occurs.

Smooth muscles derive their name from their appearance when viewed in polarized light microscopy in contrast to cardiac and skeletal muscles, which have striations (appearanee of parallel bands or lines), smooth muscle is unstriated. Striations result from the pattern of the myofilaments, actin and myosin, which line the myofibrils within each muscle cell. When many myofilaments align along the length of a muscle cell, light and dark regions create the striated appearance. This microscopic view of muscle reveals some hint of how muscles alter their shape to induce movement. Because muscle cells tend to be elongated, they are often called muscle fibers. Muscle cells are distinct from other cells in the body in shape, protein composition, and in the fact that they are multi-nucleated (have more than one nucleus per cell).
