Spinning up the polymorphs of calcium carbonate
Controlling the growth of the polymorphs of calcium carbonate is important in understanding the changing environmental conditions in the oceans. Aragonite is the main polymorph in the inner shells of marine organisms, and can be readily converted to calcite, which is the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate. Both of these polymorphs are significantly more stable than vaterite, which is th...
متن کامل1D Cahn-Hilliard equation: Ostwald Ripening and Modulated Phase Systems
Using an approximate analytical solution of the Cahn-Hilliard equation describing the coalescence during a first order phase transition, we compute the characteristic time for one step of period doubling in Langer's self similar scenario for Ostwald ripening. As an application, we compute the thermodynamically stable period of a 1D modulated phase pattern.
متن کاملHomoepitaxial Ostwald ripening
This paper reports level set simulations of the Ostwald ripening of two-dimensional homoepitaxial islands. The simulation accurately accounts for both adatom diffusion between the islands and adatom attachment/detachment processes at the island edges. We compute the time evolution of the average island size and the full island size distribution function. The results provide support for a previo...
متن کاملPart I: Ostwald ripening theories
The physical basis behind the Ostwald ripening process for two-phase mixture has been reviewed in detail, using the various theories developed to describe this process. The Ostwald ripening, also termed second phase coarsening, is generally thought to be slow, diffusion-controlled process which occurs subsequent to phase separation under extremely small under-saturation levels. The major advanc...
