Book ChapterDOI
Crystal Nucleation in Liquids and Glasses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on measurements and theories pertaining to homogeneous nucleation under cooled liquids and glasses that transform to phases of the same composition, and incorporate time-dependent nucleation and the interface kinetics into the field-theoretic approaches to give theories that are as widely applicable and, hence, testable as the classical theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
First X-Ray Scattering Studies on Electrostatically Levitated Metallic Liquids: Demonstrated Influence of Local Icosahedral Order on the Nucleation Barrier
Kenneth F. Kelton,Geun Woo Lee,Anup K. Gangopadhyay,Robert W. Hyers,T. J. Rathz,Jan R. Rogers,Michael B. Robinson,D. S. Robinson +7 more
TL;DR: The first direct experimental demonstration of Frank's complete hypothesis is presented, showing a correlation between the nucleation barrier and a growing icosahedral short-range order with decreasing temperature in a Ti39.5Zr 39.5Ni21 liquid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient nucleation in condensed systems
TL;DR: In this article, a more versatile approach is developed: a numerical simulation technique which models directly the reactions by which clusters are produced and demonstrates the evolution of cluster populations and nucleation rate in the transient regime.

Nucleation in condensed matter : applications in materials and biology
Kenneth F. Kelton,A.L. Greer +1 more
TL;DR: A central aim of this book is to enable the reader, when faced with a phenomenon in which nucleation appears to play a role, to determine whether nucleation is indeed important and to develop a quantitative and predictive description of the nucleation behavior.
