We develop design model within which nucleation and propagation of crack in a fibrous composite is described. It is assumed that under loading, crack initiation and fracture of material happens in the composite. The problem of equilibrium of a composite with embryonic crack is reduced to the solution of the system of nonlinear singular integral equations with the Cauchy type kernel. Normal and tangential forces in the crack nucleation zone are determined from the solution of this system of equations. The crack appearance conditions in the composite are formed with regard to criterion of ultimate stretching of the material's bonds. We study the case when near the fiber, the binder has several arbitrary arranged rectilinear prefracture zones and a crack with interfacial bonds. The proposed computational model allows one to obtain the size and location of the zones of damages (prefracture zones) depending on geometric and mechanical characteristics of the fibrous composite and applied external load. Based on the suggested design model that takes into account the existence of damages (the zones of weakened interparticle bonds of the material) and cracks with end zones in the composite, we worked out a method for calculating the parameters of the composite, at which crack nucleation and crack growth occurs.

3-D heterogeneous nucleation was simulated by classical molecular dynamics (MD), where the Lennard-Jones (LJ) gas and solid cluster-seed molecules have argon and aluminum properties, respectively. There are three shapes of cluster-seeds, cube, rod, and sphere, and three classes of masses and the simulation took place under nine supersaturation ratios, making a total of 81 calculations. Results show that the dimension of the cluster-seed highly affects the rates of cluster development. In order to analyze heterogeneous nucleation above and below the critical supersaturation ratio, growth rate and liquefaction rate were separately defined to supplement the investigation. Design of experiments (DOE) was used for analysis which displayed that the shape and mass of the cluster-seed are prominent for the growth rate, while the supersaturation ratio is most significant followed by the mass for liquefaction rate. The significance of the supersaturation ratio for overall liquefaction suggests that thermal diffusion is more dominant than mass interactions for this system.

Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) was carried out to study the nucleation and crystal growth process of $CeO_2$ nanoparticles in different alcohol aqueous solutions. The results showed that the nucleation and crystal growth process of $CeO_2$ can be classified into three stages: nuclei growth, crystal stabilization and crystal aggregation except the initial induction stage, which could be reproduced by collecting simulation results after different simulation time. Properly selecting the sizes of $CeO_2$ and water bead was crucial in the simulation system. The influence of alcohol type and content in solutions, and precipitation temperature on the particle dimension were investigated in detail and compared with the experimental results. The consistency between simulation results and experimental data verify that the simulation can reproduce the macroscopic particle aggregation process. The effect of solvent on the nucleation and crystal growth of $CeO_2$ nanoparticles are different at three stages and can not be simply described by Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory or nucleation thermodynamics theory. Our work demonstrated that DPD methods can be applied to study nanoparticle forming process.

$PM_{2.5}$ is one of critical air pollutants due to its high absorbability of heavy metallic fumes, PAH and bacillary micro organisms. Such a fine particulate matter is often formed through various nucleation processes including condensation. This study attempts to find the nucleation behaviors of $PM_{2.5}$ arisen from coal power stations using a classical heterogeneous Fletcher's theory. The numerical simulation by C-language could approximate the nucleation process of $PM_{2.5}$ from water vapor, of which approach revealed the required energy for embryo formation and embryo size and nucleation rate. As a result of the calculation, it was found that wetting agents could affect the particle nucleation in vapor condensation. In particular, critical contact angle relates closely with the vapor saturation. Particle condensation could be reduced by lowering the angles. The wetting agents aid to decrease the contact angle and surface tensions, thereby may contribute to save the formation energy.

HFCVD(Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition)방법을 이용한 다이아몬드의 핵 생성과 성장에 있어서, 인가한 직류 bias를 변수로 하여 핵생성 밀도와 증착율의 변화를 조 사하였다. 반응압력 20torr, 메탄농도 1.0%, Filament 온도 $2100^{\circ}C$ 그리고 Substrate 온도 $980^{\circ}C$에서 증착 단계를 핵생성기와 성장기로 구분하고 각 단계마다 bias의 방향과 크기를 다르게 인가하면서 다이아몬드 박막을 증착시켰다. Negative bias는 핵생성기에는 핵생성을 촉진시키지만 성장기에도 계속 인가하면 결정입자의 지속적인 성장을 방해하고 결정 구조를 비다이아몬드 성분으로 변화시키는 작용을 하여 박막의 morphology에 좋지 않은 영향을 주 었다. Positive bias는 핵생성기와 성장기에서 모두 $CH_4$의 분해를 촉진시킨 결과 증착율의 향상을 가져왔다. 따라서 다이아몬드 박막의 증착시 핵생성기에서는 negative bias를 인가하 고 성장기에는 positive bias를 인가하는 것이 핵생성 밀도와 증착율의 향상에 효과적인 것 으로 조사되었다.

GaAs를 Si 웨이퍼에 성장시킬 때 초기단계의 핵생성에 대하여 computer simulation을 통해 이론적으로 고찰하였다. 기존의 핵생성이론과는 달리 초기의 미세한 핵의 경우 핵을 구성하는 ledge와 ledge간의 상호작용은 핵의 크기 및 모양에 의하여 결정되는 ledge간의 거리에 따라 변화함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 여러 형태의 핵에 대하여 분석하여 본 결과 다층의 피라미드 형태로 GaAs 핵이 생성될 때 가장 낮은 excess에너지가 요구되었고 이와 같은 결과는 이러한 형태가 필연적으로 포함하게 되는 에너지가 낮은 Ga(111) facet 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러므로 GaAs/Si에서 가장 문제가 되고 있는 전위결함도 초기의 핵생성에 크게 기인함을 알 수 있다.

Abnomal grain growth behavior of BaTiO3 ceramics was investigated with addition of seed grains. It was foudn that the nucleation rate of abnormal grain was constant and growth of abnormal grain was linearly increased with sitnering time, regardless of amount of seed grains. These facts were also confirmed by fitting of the volume fraction of abnormal grain vs. sintering time using Avrami type equation (n=4). It was suggested that seed grains did not change the nucleation rate or growth mechanism of abnormal grain but increase the number of abnormal grains at initial stage of sintering and then it led to fine microstructure of BaTiO3 ceramics.

Both densification and grain growth are driven by the reduction of the interfacial area, kinetics of which depends strongly on the interface structure. Abnormal grain coarsening in the system of singular solid/liquid interface such as WC-Co alloys was explained by the growth mechanism of 2-dimensional nucleation. Based on this concept, the marked inhibition of coarsening of WC grains by VC addition can be approached by the increase in the step free energy, which increases the barrier of 2-dimensional nucleation. The activated sintering in tungsten powders can be approached by the interface structure change induced by the addition of a small amount of nickel.

For application of transparent bulletproof materials, the SLS(soda-lime-silicate) glass was heated by 2-step crystallization. The DTA curve for SLS glass revealed the nucleation and crystal growth temperature at about $575^{\circ}C$ and $675^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystallized glass was heated at various conditions(temperature, time). As a result, the maximum nucleation and crystal growth rates were $3.8\times10^5/mm^3{\cdot}hr$ at $575^{\circ}C$ and 20.58nm/min at $680^{\circ}C$, respectively. The bending strength, fracture toughness and vickers hardness were 451.7MPa, $0.9388MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, and $693.9H_v$ which were 201%, 31%, and 22% higher than parent glass, respectively. Surface image and transmittance of crystallized SLS glass were analyzed by optical microscopy and UV/VIS/NIR spectrophotometer. Transmittance of crystallized SLS glass at visible-range(200~800nm) was not changed.

In this study the initial stage nucleation and growth of Ni silicide on (001) Si by evaporation and furnace annealing have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The pressure was $10^{-6}$ Torr during evaporation and annealing. And the annealing temperature to produce $NiSi_2\;was\;800^{\circ}C$. From the evaporated film, $NiSi_2$ nucleus has grown into Si substrate with an epitaxial orientation relationship. Interfaces between $NiSi_2$ and Si were A-type {111} interfaces and {100} $NiSi_2$ interfaces were also observed at the initial stage of nucleation. Ni silicide grew into Si substrate, but the nucleus partly grew into the evaporated film, with no facets, from the nuclei in the Si substrate. $NiSi_2$ nucleus with (111) habit planes was also observed.
