    Where Am I Going Wrong in Calculating Free Energy of Heterogeneous Nucleation?

    My question is related to free energy of nucleation in heterogeneous systems and homogeneous systems. I've been given to prove delta_G* (Hetero.)= 27/64 * (delta_G*(Homo)) The stuff I know is : Total (delta G ) = [-4/3 *Pi*r^3* delta Gv] + [4*Pi*r^2*sigma] - [Pi*r^2 * sigma] 1st...

    How to Find the Volume of a Cubic FCC Unit Cell Using X-Ray Diffraction Data

    i don't have all of the data from x ray diffraction. how do u assign the peaks to the specific planes? so confused :(

    How to Find the Volume of a Cubic FCC Unit Cell Using X-Ray Diffraction Data

    Thanx for the reply. How do you find that constant (on the paper) to divide by so that 3rd column becomes an integer? (eg. 46=184-138) ??

    Graduate Superconductivity in type1 and type2?

    Hi, My question is about Type1 and Type2 superconductors. Is there a difference between the mechanisms of superconductivity in type1 and type2? And why type2 display different critical magnetic fields as a function of orientation? I have no idea about this. It'd be great if anyone...

    Calculating Energy for Vacancy Formation in a Metal

    Wow, that's awesome. Thanx! Just wondering, if vacancy density depends on temperature, can't we just compare the temperatures to obtain a ratio? bcz all the other parameters in the equation is the same and just temperature changes. ?? Is "vacancy density" and "number of vacancies" the same...

    Calculating Energy for Vacancy Formation in a Metal

    hey sorry I should have posted that in the first place. BCC cubic iron has a lattice constant of 0.287nm. What is the ratio of vacancy densities at T= 25degree C and T=700 degree C given that the energy associated with introducing 1 defect site is 0.92eV. so is N= 0.287nm?

    How to Find the Volume of a Cubic FCC Unit Cell Using X-Ray Diffraction Data

    The question I'm confused about it below:- A unit cell of copper is cubic FCC. X ray data was measured at Lambda= 1.5406 angstroms. What is the volume? I think to find volume, I need to find lattice constant which is the length of the unit cell. The peaks were given and they are at...
