How do crystals form and grow in glass-forming liquids: Ostwald's rule of stages and beyond. Int. J. Appl. Glass Sci. 1, 16-26.J. W. P. Schmelzer, V. M. Fokin, A. S. Abyzov, E. D. Zanotto, and I. Gutzow, "How Do Crystals Form and Grow in Glass-Forming Liquids: ...
All crystals form as a result of two processes, called "nucleation" and "crystal growth," in a "supersaturated" liquid solution (a liquid with something dissolved in it; for example, salt). This will occur in a cave if it is flooded with one of these liquid solutions for as long as a...
Why Do Some Crystals Grow in Filamentary Shapes?It is now necessary to turn from "metal deposition" studies—the study of the mechanism by which ions move from the solution to the growth sites on the metal surface—and study the growth itself. This is a more complex task and it is ...
He predicted that phase formation processes in complex systems proceed via a discrete series of metastable states, which can be formed in a macroscopic form at the given thermodynamic conditions, until finally the most stable phase will be reached. We show here that in segregation and ...
What Are Clouds? A Cloud is made of water drops or ice crystals floating (漂浮) in the sky. There are many kinds of cloud. Clouds are of great importance to Earth’s weather. The sky can be full of water. But most of the time you can’t see the water. The drops of water are ...
The region's economy and culture revolve around winter. As climate warms there’s a scramble to preserve snow and ice
Crystals, minerals, and precipitates—these things can form and grow within an animal’s urinary tract system to become what is called a stone (also referred to as a urolith or calculi). Stones can vary both in where they are located in the urinary tract system as well as what they are...
While these considerations are model and parameters dependent, and it is ultimately up to numerics to find the bistable and the DTC phases, what is universal and far reaching here is the concept that long-ranged DP, and PCA more generally, can host novel dynamical phases, such as DTCs. As...
If anyone in the Pandora community would like to add or suggest this post, then please do. I welcome all who are interested. Thank you. Take care everyone, and please stay safe as well. P.S. I will be using two sources of information for "This Day In The History Of Music". The ...
