Framboids_growth: Generate size distribution of framboidal pyrite based on different growth mechanisms

Description

Generate size distribution of framboidal pyrite based on different growth mechanisms

Usage

Framboids_growth(Number_Framboids = 1000, Initialization = TRUE, framboids,
  Simulation = 1, Initial_Diameter = 0, Nanocrystals_Diameter = 0.1,
  Packing_Factor = 0.74078, Random_Limit = 1, Iterations = 3,
  MaxMeanDiameter = 20)

Arguments

Number_Framboids

An integer indicanting the number of framboids to grow

Initialization

If TRUE the growth starts from empty framboids. If FALSE the growth continues from framboids

framboids

When Initialization=FALSE contains a framboids data_frame previously grown

Simulation

The growth mechanism to simulate. 1-4 surface-controlled, 5-6 supply-controlled, 1,3,5,6 size dependent, 2,4,7,8 size independent, 1,2,5,7 adding nanocrystals, 3,4,6,8 increasing diameter

Initial_Diameter

A number (in micrometers) representing the growth over preexistent spherical objects

Nanocrystals_Diameter

A number (in micrometers) with the diameter of nanocrystals forming framboids

Packing_Factor

A number from 0 to 1 representing the packing factor of nanocrystals

Random_Limit

A number from 0 to 1 representing the maximum value of random numbers in algorithm

Iterations

An integer value that controls the maximum number of iterations of the algorithm

MaxMeanDiameter

A number (in micrometers) controlling the maximum mean of the size distribution of framboids

Value

A framboids data_frame
