Sentences with phrase «nucleation sites»

Bacteria in the atmosphere, for instance, work as nucleation sites for water droplets.

In contrast, if freezing is slow, the crystal growth will be slower with few nucleation sites resulting in larger ice crystals.

This state is reached because of a lack of nucleation sites — microscopic locations where the atoms can begin to arrange into a lattice.

And clouds form when 1) the relative humidity reaches 100 % and 2) there are sufficient nucleation sites.

Ozone kills bacteria thus it reduces nucleation sites and presumably cloud formation.

This relationship is common knowledge and along with hypothetical GCR generation of cloud droplet nucleation sites forms the basis of Svensmark's Cosmic Ray / Cloud hypothesis.

A weakening magnetic field might lead to more cloud formation because more air molecules would be ionized by incoming high - energy radiation, and ionized air molecules are nucleation sites for cloud droplets.

As the atoms move around in the supercooled state in search for nucleation sites, the temperature continues to drop.

In the established FEBID process, an electron beam is used to write structures from molecules adsorbed onto a solid surface that provides support and nucleation sites for deposit growth.

These lower the freezing point of their body fluids as winter approaches by synthesising antifreeze molecules and getting rid of anything that could act as a nucleation site for ice crystals to form around, such as gut contents and bacteria.

Then, one of four other metals (nickel, cobalt, copper, or iron) acts as a scaffold, known as a nucleation site, on which the nanofiber continues to grow.

One might be some oddity in the composition or structure of the rock at the nucleation site that makes it exceptionally slippery.
