Extension of the classical theory of crystallization to non-isothermal regimes: Application to nanocrystallization processes

Journal article

The non-isothermal kinetics of primary crystallization processes is studied from numerically generated curves and their predictions have been tested in several nanocrystallization processes. Single processes and transformations involving two overlapped processes in a non-isothermal regime have been generated and deviations from isokinetic behavior are found when the overlapped processes have different activation energies. In the case of overlapped processes competing for the same type of atom...
