Nucleation kinetics in phase transformations with spatially correlated nuclei
M. Tomellini
Phase transitions ruled by nucleation and growth can occur by nonrandom arrangement of nuclei. This is verified, for instance, in thin film growth at solid surfaces by vapor conden…
Size dependent etching of nanodiamond seeds in the early stages of CVD diamond growth
R. Salerno, B. Pede, M. Mastellone +7
We present an experimental study on the etching of detonation nanodiamond (DND) seeds during typical microwave chemical vapor deposition (MWCVD) conditions leading to ultra-thin di…
Impact of seed density on continuous ultrathin nanodiamond film formation: an analytical approach
Massimo Tomellini, Riccardo Polini
An analytical mean field approach for describing the time evolution of film growth by seeding has been developed. The modeling deals with the generic case of anisotropic growth wit…
Connection between Phantom and Spatial Correlation in the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-model: A brief review
Massimo Tomellini, Massimo Fanfoni
The goal of this minireview is restricted to describe how the Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami model has evolved from its birth up to the present day. The model, which dates back to…
Interface evolution in phase transformation ruled by nucleation and growth
Massimo Tomellini
An analytical model for the evolution of the boundary of the new phase in transformations ruled by nucleation and growth is presented. Both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation…
Kinetics of phase transformations with heterogeneous correlated-nucleation
M. Tomellini, S. Politi
We develop a stochastic approach for describing 3D-phase transformations ruled by time-dependent correlated nucleation at solid surfaces. The kinetics is expressed as a series of c…
