1) Provide clear and concise definitions/explanations for the following. You may provide equations and/or diagrams if necessary: (40 points total) a) b) c) d) e) 1 Laplace pressure. Also explain the relationship between the Laplace pressure and the Gibbs-Thomson potential. (4 points) The kinetic origins of non-linear diffusion. (4 points) The thermodynamic origins of non-linear diffusion. (4 points) The Kirkendall effect. (4 points) The inverse Kirkendall effect. (4 points) The different thermodynamic components of Diffusivity, as revealed through an atomistic scale view of the diffusion process. (4 points) Why we expect a hollow nanosphere to be unstable. (4 points) Why we expect nanospheres to have a lower melting point than bulk samples. (4 points) Why we expect homogeneous nucleation to be suppressed while considering the formation of an intermetallic phase within a nanoparticle of a super saturated binary solution. (4 points) Why certain periodic multi-layered thin films (e.g. Al/Ni) can show explosive reactions. (4 points)
