Nonisothermal nucleation in the CuCl solid solution in glass: Formation of two distributions of nanoparticles of a new phase in the solid solution with a negative jump of the nucleation temperature
Abstract:
The processes of nonisothermal nucleation in the CuCl solid solution in glass with a negative jump of the nucleation temperature have been investigated using optical spectroscopy and exciton-thermal analysis. Two distributions of CuCl nanoparticles differing in the average radii $R$ (2.3 and 14.0 nm) have been obtained for the temperature drop from $T_1$ = 700$^\circ$C to $T_2$ = 500$^\circ$C. The formation of two distributions of CuCl particles has been numerically simulated and the agreement between the experimental and calculated radius distributions of CuCl particles has been obtained.
