The processes of receptors clustering on the surface of blood cells are considered in the nucleation theory framework. In the absence of ligands, the characteristic time of homogeneous nucleation of receptors clustering was assumed to be much longer than a cell's life. By varying the kinetics of the bonds' formation and breaking during receptor clustering, it was possible to describe the activation conditions experimentally observed for several types of blood cells. It was shown that the heterogeneous nucleation characteristic time leading to receptors clustering in the presence of exogenous ligands can be less than one minute. Parametric diagrams are constructed that display the effect of a number of examined ligands on the receptor system. The possible clinical significance of the results is discussed.

ABSTRACTClassical heterogeneous nucleation theory coupled with DTA data has been used to closely estimate the crystallization behavior of continuously cooled bulk metallic glass (BMG) alloys. Continuous cooling transformation and time temperature transformation diagrams of three BMG alloys, Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5, Cu47Ti33Zr11Ni6Si1Sn2 and Mg65Cu25Y10 alloys, have been calculated. The critical cooling rates Rc of three alloys were calculated to be 1.7 K/s, 242 K/s and 36 K/s for Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5, Cu47Ti33Zr11Ni6Si1Sn2 and of Mg65Cu25Y10 alloys, respectively, which match well with the experimental values. We conclude that heterogeneous nucleation is more favorable than homogeneous nucleation for the formation of crystals during cooling of BMG alloy liquids. Our approach can be applied to the analyses of crystallization kinetics of BMG alloys with a wide range of critical cooling rates during continuous cooling as well as isothermal annealing.

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.

Transient boiling in water and Freon 113 with various heater surfaces was investigated experimentally with step power inputs. It was observed that the inception or onset of boiling depends not only on the temperature, but is time dependent as well. This dependence can be explained in terms of a heterogeneous nucleation theory based on the homogeneous nucleation theory. The influence of the heater surface was accounted for by a nucleation factor which is liquid-specific. With this factor and one experimental value of inception for a given system, the time dependence of inception temperature can be computed.

Nanoparticle growth based on three-dimensional heterogeneous nucleation was simulated by classical molecular dynamics. To collectively observe the effects of the dimension of seeds and thermodynamic conditions, seed size and system supersaturation ratio were the factors that were examined to see if they influenced the nucleation rates. Two stages were found to exist within the system, where the first stage is from the seed growth and the second from homogeneous nucleation. The Yasuoka-Matsumoto method was used to calculate the rates. The homogeneous nucleation characteristics coincided with the classical nucleation theory, but heterogeneous nucleation showed an irregular form, which at the current state cannot not be fully understood. Kinetic analysis was also performed to calculate the critical nucleus size and better understand the seed growth characteristics. All in all, the seed effects were insignificant to the overall nucleation characteristics for this system.

Abstract. Binary heterogeneous nucleation of water-succinic/glutaric/malonic/adipic acid on nanometer-sized particles is investigated within the frame of classical heterogeneous nucleation theory. Homogeneous nucleation is also included for comparison. It is found that the nucleation probabilities depend on the contact angle and on the size of the seed particles. New thermodynamical properties, such as saturation vapor pressure, density and surface tension for all the dicarboxylic acid aqueous solutions are included in the calculations. While the new surface tension and density formulations do not bring any significant difference in the computed nucleation rate for homogeneous nucleation for succinic and glutaric acids, the use of the newly derived equations for the vapor pressure decrease the acid concentrations in gas phase by 3 orders of magnitude. According to our calculations, the binary heterogeneous nucleation of succinic acid-water and glutaric acid-water – although it requires a 3–4 orders of magnitude lower vapor concentrations than the homogeneous nucleation – cannot take place under atmospheric conditions. On the other hand binary homogeneous nucleation of adipic acid-water systems might be possible under conditions occuring in upper boundary layer. However, a more detailed characterization of the interaction between the surface and the molecules of the nucleating vapor should be considered in the future.

Mullite (3Al2O32SiO2) can be fabricated by transient viscous sintering using composite particles which consist of inner cores of a-alumina and outer coatings of amorphous silica. Powder compacts prepared with these particles are sintered to almost full density at relatively low temperatures (~1300°C) and converted to dense, fine-grained mullite at higher temperatures (>1500°C) by reaction between the alumina core and the silica coating. In order to achieve complete mullitization, optimal conditions for coating alumina particles with amorphous silica must be achieved. Formation of amorphous silica can occur in solution (homogeneous nucleation) or on the surface of alumina (heterogeneous nucleation) depending on the degree of supersaturation of the solvent in which the particles are immersed. Successful coating of silica on alumina occurs when heterogeneous nucleation is promoted and homogeneous nucleation is suppressed. Therefore, one key to successful coating is an understanding of the factors such as pH and concentration that control silica nucleation in aqueous solutions. In the current work, we use TEM to determine the optimal conditions of this processing.

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of double-crystallizable poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(l-lactide) diblock copolymer (PEG-PLLA) and poly(ethylene glycol) homopolymer (PEG) were studied using the fast cooling rate provided by a Fast-Scan Chip-Calorimeter (FSC). The experimental data were analyzed by the Ozawa method and the Kissinger equation. Additionally, the total crystallization rate was represented by crystallization half time t1/2. The Ozawa method is a perfect success because secondary crystallization is inhibited by using fast cooling rate. The first crystallized PLLA block provides nucleation sites for the crystallization of PEG block and thus promotes the crystallization of the PEG block, which can be regarded as heterogeneous nucleation to a certain extent, while the method of the PEG block and PLLA block crystallized together corresponds to a one-dimensional growth, which reflects that there is a certain separation between the crystallization regions of the PLLA block and PEG block. Although crystallization of the PLLA block provides heterogeneous nucleation conditions for PEG block to a certain extent, it does not shorten the time of the whole crystallization process because of the complexity of the whole crystallization process including nucleation and growth.

Understanding the rapid solidification behavior characteristics, nucleation undercooling, and nucleation mechanism is important for modifying the microstructures and properties of metal alloys. In order to investigate the rapid solidification behavior in-situ, accurate measurements of nucleation undercooling and cooling rate are required in most rapid solidification processes, e.g., in additive manufacturing (AM). In this study, differential fast scanning calorimetry (DFSC) was applied to investigate the nucleation kinetics in a single micro-sized Al-20Si (mass%) particle under a controlled cooling rate of 5000 K/s. The nucleation rates of primary Si and secondary α-Al phases were calculated by a statistical analysis of 300 identical melting/solidification experiments. Applying a model based on the classical nucleation theory (CNT) together with available thermodynamic data, two different heterogeneous nucleation mechanisms of primary Si and secondary α-Al were proposed, i.e., surface heterogeneous nucleation for primary Si and interface heterogenous nucleation for secondary α-Al. The present study introduces a practical method for a detailed investigation of rapid solidification behavior of metal particles to distinguish surface and interface nucleation.

ABSTRACTPolycrystalline SiGe (poly-SiGe) film growth by reactive thermal CVD with a gaseous mixture of Si2H6 and GeF4 was investigated on various substrates such as Al,Cr, Pt, Si, ITO, ZnO and thermally grown SiO2.In Ge-rich film growth, SEM observation in the early stage of the film growth revealed that direct nucleation of crystallites took place on the substrates. The nucleation was governed by two different mechanisms: one was a heterogeneous nucleation on the surface and the other was a homogeneous nucleation in the gas phase. In the former case, the selective nucleation was observed at temperatures lower than 400°C on metal substrates and Si, where the activation of adsorbed GeF4 on the surface played a major role for the nuclei formation, leading to the selective film growth.On the other hand, the direct nucleation did not always take place in Si-rich film growth irrespective of the substrates and depended on the growth rate. In a growth rate of 3.6nm/min, the high crystallinity of poly-Si0.95Ge0.05in a 220nm-thick film was achieved at 450°C due to the no initial deposition of amorphous tissue on SiO2 substrates.
