Physical metallurgy Nucleation and growth kinetics (異質成核推導補充) Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals Homogeneous Nucleation Gibbs free energy (G) - Gibbs free energy is a function of the internal energy of the system (enthalpy, H) and a measurement of the randomness or disorder of the atoms or molecules (entropy, S). - A transformation will occur spontaneously only when the change in free energy G has a negative value. Case of homogeneous nucleation - For the sake of simplicity, let us first consider the solidification of a pure material, and that nuclei of the solid phase form in the interior of the liquid as atoms cluster together so as to form a packing arrangement similar to that found in the solid phase. - There are two contributions to the total free energy change that accompany a solidification transformation. The first is the free energy difference between the solid and liquid phases, or the volume free energy, Gv. The second energy contribution results from the formation of the solid–liquid phase boundary during the solidification transformation, or the surface energy, .

Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals Homogeneous Nucleation The volume free energy change Gv is the driving force for the solidification transformation, and its magnitude is a function of temperature. At the equilibrium solidification temperature Tm, the value of Gv is zero, and with diminishing temperature its value becomes increasingly more negative. It can be shown that Gv is a function of temperature as H f (Tm T) Gv Tm 2 2 2T 1 r* m H (T T) Gv f m H f Tm T Tm 16 3 16 3 16 3T 2 1 G* m 3(G ) 2 2 3H 2 (T T ) 2 v H f (Tm T ) f m 3 Tm Hf: latent heat of fusion, Tm: equilibrium melting temperature (K), T: real solidification temperature (K), 4 Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals Homogeneous Nucleation Both the critical radius r* and the activation free energy G* decrease as temperature T decreases. With a lowering of temperature at temperatures below the equilibrium solidification temperature (Tm), nucleation occurs more readily. 2T 1 16 3T 2 1 r* m G* m H T T 2 2 f m 3H f (Tm T) < FIGURE 12.3 Schematic free energy- versus-embryo/nucleus radius curves for two different temperatures.

The diffusion effect is related to the frequency at which atoms from the liquid attach themselves to the solid nucleus, d. Where Qd is a temperature-independent parameter-the activation energy for diffusion, and K2 is a temperature-dependenct constant. A decrease of temperature results in a reduction in d. The nucleation rate is simply proportional to the product of n* and d, that is 6 Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals FIGURE 12.4 For Solidification: (a) number of stable nuclei v.s. temperature, (b) frequency of atomic attachment v.s. temperature and (c) nucleation rate v.s. temperature. 7 Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals Heterogeneous Nucleation In practical supercoolings are often on the order of only several degrees Celsius.The reason for this is that the activation energy for nucleation is lowered when nuclei form on preexisting surfaces or interfaces, since the surface free energy is reduced. In other words, it is easier for nucleation to occur at surfaces and interfaces than at other sites. Again, this type of nucleation is termed heterogeneous. Let us consider the nucleation, on a flat surface, of a solid particle from a liquid phase. It is assumed that both the liquid and solid phases “wet” this flat surface, that is, both of these phases spread out and cover the surface.

Activation energy The activation energy barrier for heterogeneous nucleation is smaller than the homogeneous barrier. Supercooling A much smaller degree of supercooling is required for heterogeneous nucleation. 11 Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals Growth The growth step in a phase transformation begins once an embryo has exceeded the critical size, r*, and becomes a stable nucleus. The growth process will cease in any region where particles of the new phase meet, since here the transformation will have reached completion. Particle growth occurs by long-range atomic diffusion, which normally involves several steps- for example, diffusion through the parent phase, across a phase boundary, and then into the nucleus. Consequently, the growth rate is determined by the rate of diffusion, and its temperature dependence is the same as for the diffusion coefficient, Q G C exp kT Q: activation energy, independent of temperature; C: constant, independent of temperature. At some temperature, the overall transformation rate is equal to some product of N and G. The third curve for the total rate represents this combined effect. The general shape of this curve is the same as for the nucleation rate, in that it has a peak or maximum that has been shifted upward relative to the curve. FIGURE 12.8 Schematic plot showing curves for nucleation rate (N), growth rate (G), and overall12 transformation versus temperature. Materials Science and EngineeringPhase Transformations in Metals Growth As we shall see below, the rate of transformation and the time required for the transformation to proceed to some degree of completion are inversely proportional to one another. First, the size of the product phase particles will depend on transformation temperature. Secondly, when a material is cooled very rapidly through the temperature range encompassed by the transformation rate curve to a relatively low temperature where the rate is extremely low, it is possible to produce nonequilibrium phase structures. FIGURE 12.9 Schematic plots of (a) transformation rate versus temperature, and (b) logarithm time [to some degree (e.g., 0.5 fraction) of transformation] versus temperature.

    Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Nucleation in Binary Solutions

    1 Thermodynamics and kinetics of nucleation in binary solutions Nikolay V. Alekseechkin Akhiezer Institute for Theoretical Physics, National Science Centre “Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology”, Akademicheskaya Street 1, Kharkov 61108, Ukraine Email: [email protected] Keywords: Binary solution; phase equilibrium; binary nucleation; diffusion growth; surface layer. A new approach that is a combination of classical thermodynamics and macroscopic kinetics is offered for studying the nucleation kinetics in condensed binary solutions. The theory covers the separation of liquid and solid solutions proceeding along the nucleation mechanism, as well as liquid-solid transformations, e.g., the crystallization of molten alloys. The cases of nucleation of both unary and binary precipitates are considered. Equations of equilibrium for a critical nucleus are derived and then employed in the macroscopic equations of nucleus growth; the steady state nucleation rate is calculated with the use of these equations. The present approach can be applied to the general case of non-ideal solution; the calculations are performed on the model of regular solution within the classical nucleation theory (CNT) approximation implying the bulk properties of a nucleus and constant surface tension. The way of extending the theory beyond the CNT approximation is shown in the framework of the finite- thickness layer method. From equations of equilibrium of a surface layer with coexisting bulk phases, equations for adsorption and the dependences of surface tension on temperature, radius, and composition are derived. Surface effects on the thermodynamics and kinetics of nucleation are discussed. 1. Introduction Binary nucleation covers a wide class of processes of phase transformations which can be divided into three groups: (i) gas-liquid (or solid) transformations, (ii) liquid-gas transformations, and (iii) transformations within a condensed state.

In this study, we first measured the supercooling degree of the initiation of ice slurry formation under different stirring rates, cooling rates and ethylene glycol concentrations. Results indicate that the supercooling crystallization pressure difference increases with increasing cooling rate, while it decreases with increasing ethylene glycol concentration. The stirring rate has little influence on supercooling crystallization pressure difference. Second, the crystallization kinetics of ice crystals was conducted through batch cooling crystallization experiments based on the population balance equation. The equations of nucleation rate and growth rate were established in terms of power law kinetic expressions. Meanwhile, the influences of suspension density, stirring rate and supercooling degree on the process of nucleation and growth were studied. Third, the morphology of ice crystals in ice slurry was obtained using a microscopic observation system. It is found that the effect of stirring rate on ice crystal size is very small and the addition of ethylene glycoleffectively inhibits the growth of ice crystals.

    Solidification Most Metals Are Melted and Then Cast Into Semifinished Or Finished Shape

    Solidification Most metals are melted and then cast into semifinished or finished shape. Solidification of a metal can be divided into the following steps: •Formation of a stable nucleus •Growth of a stable nucleus. Formation of stable Growth of crystals Grain structure nuclei Polycrystalline Metals In most cases, solidification begins from multiple sites, each of which can produce a different orientation The result is a “polycrystalline” material consisting of many small crystals of “grains” Each grain has the same crystal lattice, but the lattices are misoriented from grain to grain Driving force: solidification ⇒ For the reaction to proceed to the right ∆G AL AS V must be negative. • Writing the free energies of the solid and liquid as: S S S GV = H - TS L L L GV = H - TS ∴∴∴ ∆GV = ∆H - T∆S • At equilibrium, i.e. Tmelt , then the ∆GV = 0 , so we can estimate the melting entropy as: ∆S = ∆H/Tmelt where -∆H is the latent heat (enthalpy) of melting. • Ignore the difference in specific heat between solid and liquid, and we estimate the free energy difference as: T ∆H × ∆T ∆GV ≅ ∆H − ∆H = TMelt TMelt NUCLEATION The two main mechanisms by which nucleation of a solid particles in liquid metal occurs are homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation. Homogeneous Nucleation Homogeneous nucleation occurs when there are no special objects inside a phase which can cause nucleation. For instance when a pure liquid metal is slowly cooled below its equilibrium freezing temperature to a sufficient degree numerous homogeneous nuclei are created by slow-moving atoms bonding together in a crystalline form.

    Nucleation Theory: a Literature Review and Applications to Nucleation Rates of Natural Gas Hydrates

    Nucleation Theory: A Literature Review and Applications to Nucleation Rates of Natural Gas Hydrates Simon Davies SUMMARY Predicting the onset of hydrate nucleation in oil pipelines is one of the most challenging aspects in the flow assurance modelling work being performed at the Center for Hydrate Research. Nucleation is initiated by a random fluctuation which is able to overcome the energy barrier for the phase transition, once such a fluctuation occurs, further growth is energetically favourable. Historically the random fluctuation requires for nucleation was defined as the formation of a nucleus of critical size. Recently, more realistic models have been proposed based on density functional theory. In this report, a literature survey of nucleation theory was performed in order to determine the state-of-the-art understanding of hydrate nucleation. A simplified nucleation model was then designed based on a two dimensional Ising model, in order to determine thermodynamic properties for nuclei of various sizes. The model used window sampling to collect high resolution statistics for the high energy states. It was demonstrated that the shape and height of the energy barrier can be determined for a nucleating system in this way. INTRODUCTION The ability to predict the onset of nucleation is important for a wide variety of first order phase transitions from industrial crystallisers to rainfall. Systems can be held in a supersaturated state for significant periods of time before a phase transition occurs: distilled water can be held indefinitely at -10ºC without freezing, with further purification it can be cooled to -30ºC without freezing [1]. Predicting the onset of hydrate nucleation in oil pipelines is one of the most challenging aspects in the flow assurance modelling work being performed at the Center for Hydrate Research.

Abstract: A few experiments have detected icosahedral superclusters in undercooled liquids. These superclusters survive above the crystal melting temperature Tm because all their surface atoms have the same fusion heat as their core atoms and are melted by liquid homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in their core, depending on superheating time and temperature. They act as heterogeneous growth nuclei of crystallized phase at a temperature Tc of the undercooled melt. They contribute to the critical barrier reduction, which becomes smaller than that of crystals containing the same atom number n. After strong superheating, the undercooling rate is still limited because the nucleation of 13-atom superclusters always reduces this barrier, and increases Tc above a homogeneous nucleation temperature equal to Tm/3 in liquid elements. After weak superheating, the most stable superclusters containing n = 13, 55, 147, 309 and 561 atoms survive or melt and determine Tc during undercooling, depending on n and sample volume. The experimental nucleation temperatures Tc of 32 liquid elements and the supercluster melting temperatures are predicted with sample volumes varying by 18 orders of magnitude. The classical Gibbs free energy change is used, adding an enthalpy saving related to the Laplace pressure change associated with supercluster formation, which is quantified for n=13 and 55.

Published by The Royal Society of Chemistry in the journal "Soft Matter" issue 16, DOI: 10.1039/C1SM05575E 1 Abstract Relative nucleation rates for fluid bubbles of nanometre dimensions in polymer matrices are calculated using both classical nucleation theory and self-consistent field theory. An identical model is used for both calculations showing that classical nucleation theory predictions are off by many orders of magnitude. The main cause of the failure of classical nucleation theory can be traced to its representation of a bubble surface as a flat interface. For nanoscopic bubbles, the curvature of the bubble surface is comparable to the size of the polymer molecules. Polymers on the outside of a curved bubble surface can explore more conformations than can polymers next to a flat interface.
