Metals, 2022 Our current understanding of heterogeneous nucleation has been largely confined to the classical nucleation theory (CNT) that was postulated over 100 years ago based on a thermodynamic approach.

Deposition freezing, pore condensation freezing and adsorption: three processes, one description? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Heterogeneous ice nucleation impacts the hydrological cycle and climate through affecting cloud microphysical state and radiative properties. Despite decades of research, a quantitative description and understanding of heterogeneous ice nucleation ...

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.

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 ...

Single-bubble dynamics in nanopores: Transition between homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation
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.

Grain Initiation and Grain Refinement: An Overview
Metals, 2022 Heterogeneous nucleation and grain initiation are two different processes in early-stage solidification (ESS), although both are deterministic. Heterogeneous nucleation refers to the formation of a 2-dimensional (2D) nucleus (a crystal plane of the solid)

Microstructural Stability of Ti based Composites Fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 In our previous study, the effects of TiC heterogeneous nucleation site particles on formability and microstructure of additive manufactured (AMed) Ti-6Al-4V products were studied.

Heterogeneous nucleation in the low-barrier regime [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2013 In simulations of the 2D Ising model, we examine heterogeneous nucleation induced by a small impurity consisting of a line of $l$ fixed spins. As $l$ increases, we identify a limit of stability beyond which the metastable phase is not defined. We evaluate the free energy barrier for nucleation of the stable phase, and show that contrary to expectation,
