Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The thermodynamic parameters of solidification of molten dielectrics in an electric field are analyzed. It is shown that the Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and temperature of the phase transformation, supercooling, critical nucleus size, and work of nucleation are only sensitive to electric fields no lower than 107–108 V/m.
