Limitations of the Thermal‐Wave Technique for Determining Molecular‐Attachment Kinetics

摘要: Consideration of the particular mechanisms molecular attachment is shown to impose serious limitations on thermal‐wave technique for quantitatively determining molecular‐attachment kinetics at least as presently applied. For a layer‐edge‐attachment mechanism, variation layer‐edge density function position relative layer sources surface leads nonuniform departure from equilibrium over and possibly capillarity effects. Thus, plane‐wave analysis Sekerka Tiller cannot be considered exact. The further incapable distinguishing between motion uniform interface advance. discrepancies available experimental results theory are considered.
