Kinetics of Heterogeneous Nucleation

Turnbull, D.·1950·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

Consider a phase transition α⇄β. Stable β-embryos can be retained in the temperature range of α-stability in cavities of suitable extraneous solids present in the system. Retained β-embryos may nucleate the α→β-transformation in the range of β-stability. Using these concepts a theory for the effect of thermal history upon the kinetics of phase transformations is proposed. The kinetics of heterogeneous nucleation in the absence of retained embryos is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
