| Abstract | AbstractThe identification and characterization of critical nuclei is a long-standing issue in the rapid solidification of metals and alloys. An ambiguous description for their sizes and shapes used to lead to an overestimation or underestimation of homogeneous nucleation rates IT in the framework of classical nucleation theory (CNT). In this paper, a unique method able to distinguish the critical nucleus from numerous embryos is put forward on the basis of configuration heredities of clusters during rapid solidifications. As this technique is applied to analyze the formation and evolution of various fcc-Al single crystal clusters in a large-scale molecular dynamics simulation system, it is found that the size nc and geometrical configuration of critical nuclei as well as their liquid–solid interfacial structure can be determined directly. For the present deep super-cooled system with an undercooling of Tm=0.42Tmcal, the average size of critical nuclei is demonstrated to be nc?≈26, but most of which are non-spherical lamellae. Also, their liquid–solid interfaces are revealed to be not an fcc-liquid duplex-phase interface but an fcc/hcp-liquid multi-phase structure. These findings shed some lights on the CNT, and a good agreement with previous simulations and experiments in IT indicates this technique can be used to explore the early-stage of nucleation from atomistic levels. |
