Critical nuclei for bulk homogeneous nucleation at ζ = 0.845 for different values of λ.

The model considered in part I is generalized to include growth mechanisms in which the chemical reaction which proceeds at the particle-atm osphere interface is reversible, so that molecules may evaporate from a particle as well as condense upon it. The Becker-Döring-Zeldovich-Frenkel theory of homogeneous nucleation kinetics is then reviewed in the light of the known statistical problem of the birth -and -death process, and an improved approximation is introduced which significantly alters the calculated results. Both steady-state nucleation kinetics and the time lag problem are discussed.

AbstractThe nucleation kinetics of n-alkane droplets with carbon numbers of 15 and 17 was observed in an electrodynamic balance. Changes in the elastic light scattering pattern of the single levitated microdroplets indicate the phase transition liquid to solid. Measurements of the nucleation rates gave information on the dynamics of the nucleation process and allow to propose a new mechanism for the nucleation. Large induction times observed for the C15H32 droplets indicate that the nucleation starts after a solid layer has been built up at the surface.

We present numerical simulations of nucleation kinetics of vacancies and interstitials during RTA and we study the impact of annealing temperature on bulk micro defect concentration. Since the concentration of vacancies and oxygen and also its diffusion kinetics are significantly different inside Czochralski silicon, we assume the nucleation of vacancies and oxygen independent on each other. We show that different populations of voids formed during RTA can influence formation of oxygen precipitate nuclei. According to classical nucleation theory the homogeneous nucleation dominates around temperatures 500 °C while the calculation of oxygen diffusion into the voids shows that the oxygen clusters over the critical size can be formed above temperatures 700 °C. The nuclei concentration of BMD is thus the superposition of homogeneous nucleation below 700 °C and heterogeneous one prevailing above 700 °C.
