Monte Carlo simulation of abnormal grain growth during nucleation
Abstract. In materials that possess a well developed sub-grain structure in the deformed state, nucleation can be considered as a type of abnormal (sub-)grain growth. The critical condition for this type of nucleation was investigated with a Monte Carlo code. The findings were as follows. (1) The nucleus size is a key factor for survival of an embryo. An embryo with a size below a critical valu...
متن کاملReal-space imaging of nucleation and growth in colloidal crystallization.
Crystallization of concentrated colloidal suspensions was studied in real space with laser scanning confocal microscopy. Direct imaging in three dimensions allowed identification and observation of both nucleation and growth of crystalline regions, providing an experimental measure of properties of the nucleating crystallites. By following their evolution, we identified critical nuclei, determi...
متن کاملGrain Destruction in Interstellar Shock Waves
Interstellar shock waves can erode and destroy grains present in the shocked gas, primarily as the result of sputtering and grain-grain collisions. Uncertainties in current estimates of sputtering yields are reviewed. Results are presented for the simple case of sputtering of fast grains being stopped in cold gas. An upper limit is derived for sputtering of refractory grains in C-type MHD shock...
متن کاملOn buckyonions as an interstellar grain component
The carrier of the 2175 Å interstellar extinction feature remains unidentified since its first detection over 40 yr ago. In recent years, carbon buckyonions have been proposed as a carrier of this feature, based on the close similarity between the electronic transition spectra of buckyonions and the 2175 Å interstellar feature. We examine this hypothesis by modelling the interstellar extinction...
متن کاملApproaching the Interstellar Grain Organic Refractory Component
Infrared spectra have been obtained for laboratory residues of photoprocessed low-temperature ices which have been exposed to long-term solar ultraviolet radiation on the EURECA satellite. This is an analog to the ultraviolet processing of interstellar dust mantles in diffuse clouds after leaving molecular clouds. The 3.4 mm absorption features of these organic materials match those of the diff...
