The effect of the growth rate on the microstructure of multi-crystalline silicon

Graphite/Isobutylene-isoprene Rubber Highly Porous Cryogels as New Sorbents for Oil Spills and Organic Liquids

“…Therefore, the pores structure of sample prepared at -15 °C arose because of the faster nucleation of benzene crystals at this low temperature, which meant that smaller benzene crystals formed. 21,22 By altering graphite concentrations, cryogels C0−C2, containing 0 w/w % to 2 w/w % graphite, were successfully created. Figure 2 shows the differences between these samples.…”

“…The gel prepared at -15 °C had more but smaller pores (about 20μm).According to nucleation theory, a higher nucleation rate decreases the size of nuclei. Therefore, the pores structure of sample prepared at -15 °C arose because of the faster nucleation of benzene crystals at this low temperature, which meant that smaller benzene crystals formed. , …”

Enhanced UV–Vis photocatalytic performance of the CuInS 2 /TiO 2 /SnO 2 hetero-structure for air decontamination

“…The hetero-structures based on thin films with similar crystallization systems and values of the crystallites' sizes indicate a good interfacial lattice compatibility, effective during the early steps of the deposition processes, and allow a uniform growth of the top layer on the entire surface [32,33]. The crystallite sizes were calculated based on the Scherrer formula, Eq.…”

Multicrystalline Silicon Crystal Growth for Photovoltaic Applications

“…In mc-Si, most of dislocations nucleate at grain boundaries [55,56] or generate from particles, such as SiC and Si 3 N 4 [57], due to the lattice distorted stress concentration around them.
