nukleaatioalustoiksi
Nukleaatioalustoiksi, a Finnish term, translates to "nucleation sites" or "platforms for nucleation" in English. This concept is fundamental in various scientific disciplines, particularly in materials science, chemistry, and physics. It refers to specific surfaces or interfaces where the initial formation, or nucleation, of a new phase occurs. This can involve the solidification of a liquid into a solid, the condensation of a gas into a liquid, or the formation of crystals from a solution.
The properties of a nucleation site significantly influence the nucleation process. These sites can be impurities,
Understanding nucleation sites is crucial for controlling the microstructure and properties of materials. For example, in
