Nucleation Thermodynamics of Cubic Boron Nitride upon High-Pressure and High-Temperature Supercritical Fluid System in Nanoscale

Thermodynamic Analysis of the V-Shaped Area of High Pressure and High Temperature in Cubic Boron Nitride Synthesis with Li3N as a Catalyst

“…With the catalyst, a short-range or medium-range ordered molten-like structure [5] forms to greatly reduce the temperature and pressure of cBN synthesis. From the point of crystal nucleation, the B-N dusts produced by hBN degradation can transform into cBN microstructures by heterogeneous nucleation with energy fluctuation [22]. Li 3 BN 2 could be the matrix of cBN nucleation, because of the similar crystal structure and larger lattice constant [23].…”

Laser ablation in liquids: Applications in the synthesis of nanocrystals

“…More recently, taking the surface tension induced by nanosized curvature of crystalline nuclei into account, we have developed a thermodynamic approach at the nanometer scale to elucidate the nucleation, phase transition, and growth [181]. Up to date, this thermodynamic method has been widely used to address the nucleation, phase transition, and growth of stable and metastable phases at the nanometer scale [182][183][184][185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193][194][195]. Accordingly, to gain a better understanding of the phase formation upon laser ablation of solids in liquids from the pointview of thermodynamics.…”

Nucleation thermodynamics of oxide during metal oxidation

“…NS can thus be expressed by NS = chem + structure , where chem is the energy term related to the interfacial chemical bonding and structure is the strain energy due to the lattice mismatch at the metaloxide interface. 12,17 We are now in the position to discuss the effect of surface reaction on the nucleation of oxide islands. The expression of ⌬G homo ‫ء‬ in Eq.…”
