“…We also find that the free energy of a lensshaped nucleus becomes negative when the line tension is negative and large, which will leads to the barrier-less athermal nucleation 8,37 with no thermal activation process.…”

Refinement of Al alloys by TiB 2 has been extensively studied in both industry and academia for several decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The presence of solutes (e.g.

“…Taking into account the finding that driving force is doubled when new £ nucleation takes place on an existing £ nucleus, energy barrier for the following £ nucleation on ¤/£ interface is reduced to only a quarter of that for initial £ nucleation, which is one eighth of homogeneous £ nucleation. In both cases, i.e., athermal nucleation 44) and conventional nucleation as a thermal activation process with 1/8 of energy barrier, further £ nucleation on an existing £ nuclei is supposed to be significantly promoted following the initial £ nucleation. In other words, concurrent £ phase nucleation could occur like chain-reaction, after initial £ nucleation is successfully realized.…”

“…The initial nucleation allows further nucleation on the surface of the initial nucleus with much lower energy barrier, one eighth of the homogeneous nucleation. For the following nuclei, even athermal nucleation 44) may be possible at triple junction between two earlier nuclei and matrix. These secondary nuclei do not need the ¤/¤ GB and thus difference in morphology after the two initial cases eventually vanishes, suggesting that it is experimentally difficult to determine whether the GB triggered the initial nucleation takes place in reality or not.…”
