Evolution of speckle during spinodal decomposition.
Time-dependent properties of the speckled intensity patterns created by scattering coherent radiation from materials undergoing spinodal decomposition are investigated by numerical integration of the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation. For binary systems which obey a local conservation law, the characteristic domain size is known to grow in time tau as R=[Btau](n) with n=1/3, where B is a constant. Th...
متن کاملMonolayer pattern evolution via substrate strain-mediated spinodal decomposition.
Investigations of octylsilane (C8H17SiH3) monolayer pattern formation on Au(111) are reported. Scanning tunneling microscopy data display the evolution of a approximately 6 nm scale pattern of interwoven features concomitant with ejection of surface Au atoms and relaxation of the Au(111) 23xsqrt[3] surface reconstruction. Numerical simulations suggest the surface dynamics are governed by a subs...
متن کاملSpectral evidence of spinodal decomposition, phase transformation and molecular nitrogen formation in supersaturated TiAlN films upon annealing
Thermal treatment of supersaturated Ti1!xAlxN films (x " 0.67) with a dominant ternary cubic-phase were performed in the 700– 1000 !C range. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) shows that, for annealing temperatures up to 800 !C, the film structure undergoes the formation of coherent cubic AlN (c-AlN) and TiN (c-TiN) nanocrystallites via spinodal decomposition and, at higher temperature...
متن کاملComputer simulation of spinodal decomposition in constrained films
The morphological evolution during spinodal decomposition of a binary alloy thin film elastically constrained by a substrate is studied. Elastic solutions, derived for elastically anisotropic thin films subject to the mixed stress-free and constraint boundary conditions, are employed in a three-dimensional phase-field model. The Cahn–Hilliard diffusion equation for a thin film boundary conditio...
متن کاملKinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films.
We study universality in the kinetics of spinodal phase separation in unstable thin liquid films, via simulations of the thin film equation. It is shown that, in addition to morphology and free energy, the number density of local maxima in the film profile can also be used to identify the early, late, and intermediate stages of spinodal phase separation. A universal curve between the number den...
