Heterogeneous Nucleation and Grain Initiation on a Single Substrate

Recently, we have proposed a new framework for early stages solidification, in which heterogeneous nucleation and grain initiation have been treated as separate processes. In this paper, we extend our atomic-level understanding of heterogeneous nucleation to spherical cap formation for grain initiat...
