Molecular transport in liquids and glasses

MH Cohen, D Turnbull - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1959 - pubs.aip.org
It is shown that data on self-diffusion in some simple van der Waals liquids and liquid metals
are described satisfactorily by our relation with v* near the molecular volume for the van der …

Under what conditions can a glass be formed?

D Turnbull - Contemporary physics, 1969 - Taylor & Francis
Generally substances are more stable in a crystalline than in a glassy state. Therefore, to
form a glass, crystallization must be bypassed. Under certain conditions, the melts of many …

Free‐volume model of the amorphous phase: glass transition

D Turnbull, MH Cohen - The Journal of chemical physics, 1961 - pubs.aip.org
Free volume vf is defined as that part of the thermal expansion, or excess volume Δ v̄
which can be redistributed without energy change. Assuming a Lennard‐Jones potential …

Kinetics of solidification of supercooled liquid mercury droplets

D Turnbull - The Journal of chemical physics, 1952 - pubs.aip.org
The solidification rate of supercooled liquid mercury droplets is strongly dependent upon the
nature of foreign substances on their surface or suspended in them. Droplets (2-8 microns …

[BOOK][B] Masons, tricksters and cartographers: Comparative studies in the sociology of scientific and indigenous knowledge

D Turnbull - 2003 - taylorfrancis.com
In an eclectic and highly original study, Turnbull brings together traditions as diverse as
cathedral building, Micronesian navigation, cartography and turbulence research. He …

On the free‐volume model of the liquid‐glass transition

D Turnbull, MH Cohen - The journal of chemical physics, 1970 - pubs.aip.org
We have improved the free‐volume model for molecular transport in dense fluids, as
developed in earlier papers, by taking account of the variable magnitude of the diffusive …

Kinetics of heterogeneous nucleation

D Turnbull - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1950 - pubs.aip.org
MOST of the theories for the kinetics of nucleation that have been advanced apply to"
homogeneous nucleation" which is initiated in the interior of a single phase. The nucleation …

Nucleation catalysis.

D Turnbull, B Vonnegut - Industrial & Engineering Chemistry, 1952 - ACS Publications
Schaefer (16) measured the catalytic activity of several natu-rally occurring inorganic
substances, and part of his data are given in Table I. Most of these substances are …

Mechanism of diffusion of copper in germanium

FC Frank, D Turnbull - Physical Review, 1956 - APS
To explain the rapid diffusivity of copper in germanium and its dependence on structure, it is
proposed that the copper be dissolved in two states, interstitial and substitutional. It is …

Maps are territories: science is an atlas: a portfolio of exhibits

D Turnbull, H Watson - 1989 - philpapers.org
Abstract" The map is not the territory" is a cartographic truism. It means that unless the map
is drawn on a mile-to-mile scale and has the same physical characteristics as the territory …
