Anisotropic Nucleation, Growth and Ripening under Stirring—A Phenomenological Model

The anisotropic formation of elongated metal-oxide aggregates in water under intensive stirring is analyzed. It is treated in terms of anisotropic ballistically mediated aggregation kinetics in open systems. The basic kinetic equations describing the stages of homogeneous nucleation, independent gro...

Sumario:The anisotropic formation of elongated metal-oxide aggregates in water under intensive stirring is analyzed. It is treated in terms of anisotropic ballistically mediated aggregation kinetics in open systems. The basic kinetic equations describing the stages of homogeneous nucleation, independent growth, and ripening of the aggregates are formulated for the open system under the external influence with the stirring intensity as the main parameter governing the process. The most significant elongation of the aggregates is shown to evolve at the ripening stage.
