Figure 9. The noncoherent bundlelike surface nucleus model and its growth rate behavior.

Figure 9

(a) Noncoherent surface nucleus of length l, width a, and thickness b on strained substrate crystal. Chain ends denoted—X.

(b) Logarithm of radial growth rate as a function of temperature. The solid, dashed, and dotted lines have the same significance as in previous diagrams. (See text for assumptions required to obtain spherical object from this model.)
