On the Properties of Prenucleation (Protomineral) Clusters

详细

For the first time, the characteristic properties of protomineral (precrystallization) clusters—kvatarons—formed in supersaturated media and considered as special forms of the structural organization of matter in the nanoworld have been systemically described. The possible existence of such clusters was reported by us in 1998, and nowadays the phenomenon of precrystallization structurization of matter is already recognized as a proven fact, and there is still little information about their unusual properties and behavior, direct observations are absent.
