Abstract
Nucleation and crystallization processes of multicomponent particles are simulated using the example of the formation of two-dimensional (2D) GaSxSe1 – x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions in thermodynamically closed systems. A nonlinear physicochemical model of the formation of 2D thermodynamic phases is developed using an evolutionary equation of the Fokker–Planck (F–P) type in dimensional space. The evolution of the particle size distribution function is approximated in time. A model of phase formation processes containing a system of nonlinear differential F–P equations is investigated taking into account the theories of homogeneous and heterogeneous crystallization, and the model equations are solved by the finite difference method. Numerical approximations are carried out for the formation of 2D nanocrystals of the GaSxSe1 – x systems. In the description of the model of the chosen distribution function, the influence of the chemical potential of the components, temperature, and also impurities on the formation of a new phase is taken into account. The influence of the activity coefficient, the distribution of impurities, temperature-dependent factors, and the diffusion effect on the formation of 2D phases are also considered.
