Fig. 7.13 ( a ) Self-epitaxial nucleation induced assembly and supersaturation-driven interfacial
structure mismatch nucleation: the structural match between the daughter crystals and the parent
crystal will become poor as supersaturation increases. An example in calcite crystallization is
demonstrated. ( b ) The change of the mismatch nucleation barrier
G mis with supersaturation (cf.
)] 2 for CaCO 3 (calcite) nucleation. Within the range
of supersaturations where experiments were carried out, three straight lines with different slopes
intercept one another, dividing the space into three regimes. ( d ) Supersaturation-driven interfacial
structural mismatch: with the increase in the supersaturation, the interfacial correlation factor
f ( m ) will increase abruptly at a certain supersaturation, such as A, B,
( 7.16 )). ( c ) The plot of ln t s versus 1/[ln(1
C
, corresponding to the
transition from an ordered and structurally matched to a less ordered and structurally mismatched
