  2. Vapor–liquid–solid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor–liquid–solid_method

    The solid solubility of the catalyzing agent is low in the solid and liquid phases of the substrate material. The equilibrium vapor pressure of the catalyst over the liquid alloy must be small so that the droplet does not vaporize, shrink in volume (and therefore radius), and decrease the radius of the growing wire until, ultimately, growth is ...

  3. Chemical transport reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_transport_reaction

    Alternatively, when the reaction of the solid and the transport agent is endothermic, the solid is transported from a hot zone to a cooler one. For example: Fe 2 O 3 + 6 HCl ⇌ Fe 2 Cl 6 + 3 H 2 O ΔH rxn > 0 (endothermic) The sample of iron(III) oxide is maintained at 1000 °C, and the product is grown at 750 °C. HCl is the transport agent.

  4. Metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalorganic_vapour-phase...

    Metalorganic vapour-phase epitaxy (MOVPE), also known as organometallic vapour-phase epitaxy (OMVPE) or metalorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), [1] is a chemical vapour deposition method used to produce single- or polycrystalline thin films. It is a process for growing crystalline layers to create complex semiconductor multilayer ...

  5. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(phase_transition)

    For deposition to occur, thermal energy must be removed from a gas. When the air becomes cold enough, water vapour in the air surrounding the leaf loses enough thermal energy to change into a solid. Even though the air temperature may be below the dew point , the water vapour may not be able to condense spontaneously if there is no way to ...

  6. Adsorption refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption_refrigeration

    The difference is that in adsorption refrigeration, the refrigerant or adsorbate vapour molecules adsorb onto the surface of a solid instead of dissolving into a liquid. In an adsorption system, an adsorber adsorbs the refrigerant vapour into a solid, while in an absorption system, an absorber absorbs the refrigerant vapour into a liquid. [1]

  7. Phase-transfer catalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-transfer_catalyst

    In chemistry, a phase-transfer catalyst or PTC is a catalyst that facilitates the transition of a reactant from one phase into another phase where reaction occurs. Phase-transfer catalysis is a special form of catalysis and can act through homogeneous catalysis or heterogeneous catalysis methods depending on the catalyst used.

  8. Droplet vaporization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droplet_vaporization

    Heat conducts radially against the convection toward the droplet interface. This process is called Stefan convection or Stefan flow. [3] Sketch of a vaporizing droplet. The gas phase conservation equations for mass, fuel-vapor mass fraction and energy are written in a spherical coordinate system: [3]

  9. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    A small piece of rapidly melting solid argon shows two concurrent phase changes. The transition from solid to liquid, and gas to liquid (shown by the white condensed water vapour). Other phase changes include: Transition to a mesophase between solid and liquid, such as one of the "liquid crystal" phases.
