Ice nucleation under cirrus cloud conditions [PDF]
, 2012 Cirrus are thin upper tropospheric clouds that are composed entirely of ice particles. Due to their extensive coverage of the Earth’s surface, they have a significant impact on the Earth’s radiative balance.

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.

Multi-stage heterogeneous bubble nucleation under negative pressures [PDF]
, 2023 In this paper, we investigate homogeneous and heterogeneous bubble nucleation processes in systems under tension using molecular dynamics simulations. The maximum pressure (nucleation pressure, $\sigma_{min}$) sustained by the system is used a as measure

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)

Divergence between local structure, dynamics and nucleation outcome in heterogeneous nucleation of close-packed crystals [PDF]
, 2023 Heterogeneous crystal nucleation is the dominant mechanism of crystallization in most systems, yet its underlying physics remains an enigma. While emergent interfacial crystalline order precedes heterogeneous nucleation, its importance in the nucleation ...
