TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a general introduction to the theory of transformation kinetics of real metals, including the formation and evolution of martensitic transformations, as well as a theory of dislocations.

Thermodynamics and Kinetics of the Solid Solution of HCl in Ice

TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium solubility of HCl in ice has been measured as a function of temperature and HCl partial pressure, between −8 and −35 °C by doping large ice single crystals with gaseous HCl for several weeks.

Enhancement of the mechanical properties of a Nb-microalloyed advanced high-strength steel treated by quenching–partitioning–tempering process

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have shown that an Fe 0.2C-1.5Mn -1.13Mo steel subjected to quenching-partitioning-tempering (Q-P-T) process based upon modifying the recently developed Q&P treatment by Speer et al. exhibits high-tensile strength and relatively high elongation.

Nucleation and Bulk Crystallization in Binary Phase Field Theory

TL;DR: In the one-component limit, quantitative agreement is achieved with computer simulations (Lennard-Jones system) and experiments (ice-water system) using model parameters evaluated from the free energy and thickness of the interface.

Experimental tests of the classical nucleation theory for glasses

TL;DR: In this paper, Li2O·2SiO2 and barium disilicates were used to test the applicability of classical nucleation theory, and the experimentally determined preexponential factor A in the nucleation equation was much higher than the theoretical value, in agreement with previous studies.

Ice crystallization in water’s “no-man’s land”

TL;DR: This work confirms the coexistence of ice and liquid after water is crystallized in "no-man's land": the formation of ice plateaus when there is still 15%-20% of liquid water in the systems, thinly dispersed between ice I crystals with linear dimensions ranging from 3 to 10 nm.
