A New Atomistic Mechanism for Heterogeneous Nucleation in the Systems with Negative Lattice Misfit: Creating a 2DTemplate for Crystal Growth
Heterogeneous nucleation is a widespread phenomenon in both nature and technology. However, our current understanding is largely confined to the classical nucleation theory (CNT) postulated over a century ago, in which heterogeneous nucleation occurs stochastically to form a spherical cap facilitate...
