Simulation of Microstructural Evolution in Electronic Glass-Ceramics

摘要

It has been recognized that the presence of aconnected network of the crystalline phase improves theperformance of electronic glass-ceramics. Keeping this in view thetheoretical simulation of microstructural evolution of the ceramicphase in a glassy matrix using the static Monte Carlo technique hasbeen done in two and three dimensions. The problem has beenapproached from the perspective of the percolation theory. Anormal distribution of probable sites of the ceramic phase inquestion has been done and the condition in commensurate withthe physical realisation that nucleation sites have a low probabilityof occurrence has been used to identify them.
