| Summary: | In the study of locked particles, the recent development of a theoretical understanding of the volume locking profile using textural transforms has been significant. In all derivations, it was assumed that the interfacial surface area was flat. In this paper, the effect of a curved interfacial surface is explored. It was found that as the particle size approached the inclusion size, the volume locking profile became evermore asymmetric. Moreover, as this ratio approached one, there was a large movement of the Ferrara Point. Since the latter is a key parameter in defining the locking profile, its movement is significant. |
