Nanostructured Ni2As2O7 semiconductor samples were synthesized by a solid state method among As2O3 and Ni(NO3)2.6H2O raw materials at 650 °C (S1) and 750 °C (S2) as reaction temperatures. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique and F...

Single crystals consisting various surface morphologies and epitaxial structures were applied to investigate the effect of other phase regions in the vicinity of a given tethered chains-covered area having a certain molecular weight of amorphous brushes. The designed experiments demonstrated that regardless of the type of surface morphology (patterned and especial mixed-brushes, homo and co...

A semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant pH value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. Results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3,  the k...

Let A, D be finite subsets of Zk (the set of all k-tuples of integers), and consider the sequence of sets (A,A + D,A + D+ D, . ..) which can be thought of as stages of growth in a crystal. One starts with a hub A and adds increments equal to D. We represent finite subsets of Zk by means of polynomials, and show that the sequence of polynomials corresponding to the crystal sequence is generated ...

We numerically study the spiral mode of crystal growth using a theory developed by Burton, Cabrera and Frank using a level set method. This method is novel in that it can handle not only closed curves but open curves as well. We use our method to compute interacting spirals and make estimates of growth rates. We also propose a possible coarsening mechanism for a large number of interacting spir...
