Metals, 2021 Heterogeneous nucleation is a widespread phenomenon in both nature and technology. However, our current understanding is largely confined to the classical nucleation theory (CNT) postulated over a century ago, in which heterogeneous nucleation occurs ...

Heterogeneous Nucleation and Grain Initiation on a Single Substrate
Metals, 2022 Recently, we have proposed a new framework for early stages solidification, in which heterogeneous nucleation and grain initiation have been treated as separate processes.

Single-bubble dynamics in nanopores: Transition between homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation [PDF]
Physical Review Research, 2020 When applying a voltage bias across a thin nanopore, localized Joule heating can lead to single-bubble nucleation, offering a unique platform for studying nanoscale bubble behavior, which is still poorly understood.

Bulk Perovskite Crystal Properties Determined by Heterogeneous Nucleation and Growth. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2023 In metal halide perovskites, charge transport in the bulk of the films is influenced by trapping and release and nonradiative recombination at ionic and crystal defects.

Hydrothermal synthesis of carbon quantum dots with size tunability via heterogeneous nucleation. [PDF]
RSC Adv, 2022 Hydrothermal synthesis has been extensively utilized for fabricating carbon quantum dots (CQDs). Generally, the average sizes of the CQDs are controlled by using specific precursor concentrations, processing temperatures, and reaction times. In our study,

Engineering Heterogeneous Nucleation during Solidification of Multiphase Cast Alloys: An Overview
Metals, 2023 The theory of heterogeneous nucleation was initially developed as a part of condensed matter physics, and later it was used as an important engineering tool to design metallurgical processes.

Direct measuring of single–heterogeneous bubble nucleation mediated by surface topology
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Although bubble nucleation has been recognized as highly stochastic and heterogeneous, it is still poorly understood how surface nanoscopic topologies quantitatively modulate the nucleation process.

Studies on the Competition Between Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation in Cirrus Formation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022 Cirrus ice crystals are produced heterogeneously on ice‐nucleating particles (INPs) and homogeneously in supercooled liquid solution droplets. They grow by uptake of water molecules from the ice‐supersaturated vapor.

Acoustic Crystallization and Heterogeneous Nucleation [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2001 By focusing a high intensity acoustic wave in liquid helium, we have observed the nucleation of solid helium inside the wave above a certain threshold in amplitude. The nucleation is a stochastic phenomenon. Its probability increases continuously from 0 to 1 in a narrow pressure interval around Pm + 4.7 bars (Pm is the melting pressure where liquid and
