Universal distributions generated in a nucleation pulse.
نویسنده
چکیده
Asymptotic analysis of the nucleation-growth equations describing a nucleation pulse of arbitrary duration is performed. It is discovered that after extended growth an asymptotic distribution is established, which is not of any standard form (Gauss, log-normal, etc.). Regardless of the mass exchange mechanism between the nucleus and the metastable phase, in the extremes of long and short pulses the shapes of the distribution become universal, with additional insensitivity of either the maximum or, respectively, the width to the duration of the pulse.

متن کاملSemi-classical Noise Treatment of Generated Supercontinuum Light by a Finite Energy Airy Pulse
In this paper, a stochastic term is added to the classical generalized nonlinear Schrödinger Equation to describe the noise generated when light pulses propagate in a fiber. It has been shown that the generated supercontinuum light source fluctuates up to 50% of its output temporal intensity profile due to noises of different sources. The simulation method devised has been applied to the propag...
متن کاملTransformations of the distribution of nuclei formed in a nucleation pulse: Interface-limited growth.
A typical nucleation-growth process is considered: a system is quenched into a supersaturated state with a small critical radius r( *) (-) and is allowed to nucleate during a finite time interval t(n), after which the supersaturation is abruptly reduced to a fixed value with a larger critical radius r( *) (+). The size-distribution of nucleated particles f(r,t) further evolves due to their dete...
متن کاملThe Weibull Topp-Leone Generated Family of Distributions: Statistical Properties and Applications
Statistical distributions are very useful in describing and predicting real world phenomena. Consequently, the choice of the most suitable statistical distribution for modeling given data is very important. In this paper, we propose a new class of lifetime distributions called the Weibull Topp-Leone Generated (WTLG) family. The proposed family is constructed via compounding the Weibull and the ...
متن کاملCapture-zone scaling in island nucleation: universal fluctuation behavior.
In island nucleation and growth, the distribution of capture zones (in essence proximity cells) can be described by a simple expression generalizing the Wigner surmise (power-law rise, Gaussian decay) from random matrix theory that accounts for spacing distributions in a host of fluctuation phenomena. Its single adjustable parameter, the power-law exponent, can be simply related to the critical...
