Nucleation pathways on complex networks.
Identifying nucleation pathway is important for understanding the kinetics of first-order phase transitions in natural systems. In the present work, we study nucleation pathway of the Ising model in homogeneous and heterogeneous networks using the forward flux sampling method, and find that the nucleation processes represent distinct features along pathways for different network topologies. For...
متن کاملEffect of impurities on pentacene island nucleation
Pentacenequinone PnQ impurities have been introduced into a pentacene source material in a controlled manner to quantify the relative effects of the impurity content on the grain boundary structure and thin film nucleation. Atomic force microscopy has been employed to directly characterize by weight films grown by using 0.0%–7.5% PnQ in the source material. Analysis of the distribution of captu...
متن کاملColloidal aggregation with mobile impurities.
The structure and aggregation kinetics of diffusion-limited cluster-cluster three-dimensional monomeric aggregates and gels is investigated as a function of the molar fraction of two types of impurities. In one case the impurities are allowed to aggregate among themselves whereas in the other the impurities are mobile monomers that remain as such during the whole aggregation process. Computer s...
متن کاملAvailability Analysis For Heterogeneous Nucleation In A Uniform Electric Field
Industrial demands for more compact heat exchangers are a motivation to find new technology features. Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) is introduced as a promising phenomenon for heat transfer enhancement mechanisms. Similar to any new technology, EHD has not been understood completely yet and requires more fundamental studies. In boiling phase change phenomena, nucleation is the dominant mechanism i...
متن کاملEffect of immobile impurities on two-dimensional nucleation.
We study the dependence of the critical size of the nucleus on the density of impurity by carrying out a Monte Carlo simulation. We assume that the impurities are fixed on a crystal surface, and neglect restoration of bonds between an impurity atom and an adsorbed atom. We initially prepare one cluster in the system and investigate the change of the cluster size. When the cluster size is the cr...
