Abstract The influence of the interface kinetics at the growth face of a crystal and at the surface of material of solute source on the relaxation behavior in a solution system for crystal growth under microgravity is studied. Because the variation of the solution density caused by the solute concentration change can be omitted and only that caused by the temperature change is taken into account, the interface kinetics does not influence the relaxation behaviors of the fluid velocity and the temperature distribution index $S_{\theta}$ (see text). The relaxations of the concentration distribution index $S_{\phi}$ (see text) and dimensionless average growth rate of crystal $\bar{V}_{\rm cg}$ are calculated under the square pulsed fluctuations of the gravity level or the temperature at the growth face of crystal. Introduction of the interface kinetics makes the value of $S_{\phi}$ enlarged and the perturbation peak of the $S_{\phi}$-$\tau$ curve caused by the gravity level or temperature fluctuation lowered. While the perturbation peak and the valley of the $\bar{V}_{\rm cg}$-$\tau$ curve caused by the negatively and positively pulsed temperature fluctuation, respectively, is lowered and shallowed by the interface kinetics.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
