The DTA analysis confirmed two transformation events as manifested by two peaks upon cooling. However, compositional and structural characterization of samples with different heat treatment schedules, ...

THE customary theory for the nucleation of ice on a crystalline substrate ... free energy and the surface free energy counterbalance 1,2. Although this model is mathematically tractable, its ...

The findings suggest that two-step nucleation pathways, where crystalline order develops in dense liquid regions, are more prevalent than the traditional one-step mechanisms[3]. This challenges ...

Epitaxial growth of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides on sapphire has emerged ... to be intimately tied to growth conditions via changes in the sapphire surface chemistry that control ...

Crystallization is classically viewed like a two-step process below liquidus conditions: 1) nucleation, the formation of nanoscopic molecular clusters (nuclei) with atoms arranged in space similar to ...
