← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid deposition overwhelms vapor solidification?
A)Non-equilibrium phase formation occurs✓
B)Increased material structural homogeneity
C)Equilibrium grain growth is promoted
D)Viscosity increases material density
💡 Explanation
Rapid solidification suppresses diffusion. Crystal Nucleation occurs faster than atoms can arrange into equilibrium phases, because decreased kinetic energy decreases atomic mobility. Therefore, a non-equilibrium phase forms, rather than following slow thermodynamic equilibrium under ideal Quenching.
