Step Dynamics in 3D Crystal Shape Relaxation
Three-dimensional relaxation of small crystallites was imaged in real time using variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. The micron-sized Pb crystallites, supported on Ru(0001), were equilibrated at 500–550 K, and the volume-preserving shape relaxation was induced by a rapid temperature decrease to 353–423 K. The (111) facet at the top of the crystallite grows by sequential peeling ...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation of Homogeneous Crystal Nucleation in Polyethylene Citation
Using a realistic united-atom force field, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study homogeneous nucleation of the crystal phase at about 30% supercooling from the melts of n-pentacontahectane (C150) and a linear polyethylene (C1000), both of which are long enough to exhibit the chain folding that is characteristic of polymer crystallization. The nucleation rate was calculated and ...
متن کاملDendritic Crystal Growth Dynamics
With considerable NASA support, the scientific community has learned much in recent decades about the process of dendritic crystal formation, particularly as an example of steady-state pattern formation. Recently, efforts here and elsewhere have shifted towards the study of the timevarying aspects of the process. This paper will discuss the recent observations of the Transient Dendritic Solidif...
متن کاملDirect atomic force microscopy observation of DNA tile crystal growth at the single-molecule level.
While the theoretical implications of models of DNA tile self-assembly have been extensively researched and such models have been used to design DNA tile systems for use in experiments, there has been little research testing the fundamental assumptions of those models. In this paper, we use direct observation of individual tile attachments and detachments of two DNA tile systems on a mica surfa...
متن کاملTowards an atomic-scale understanding of crystal growth in solution.
Our understanding of crystal growth continues to increase thanks to progress in theoretical models, computer simulations and experimental techniques. A discussion of the state-of-the-art in morphology prediction and of the determination of the solid-liquid interface structure using X-ray diffraction shows, however, that there is still a large gap between experiment and theory. We expect that co...
