Igniting homogeneous nucleation [PDF]
Transient homogeneous nucleation is studied in the limit of large critical sizes. Starting from pure monomers, three eras of transient nucleation are characterized in the classic Becker-Döring kinetic equations with two different models of discrete diffusivity: the classic Turnbull-Fisher formula and an expression describing thermally driven growth of ...

Homogeneous nucleation of dislocations
The mechanism and stochastic properties of the homogeneous nucleation of dislocations have been studied. An approach has been proposed for determining the nucleation rate based on consideration of the lifetimes of a metastable state. Primary data have been obtained using the molecular dynamics method. The dependences of the nucleation rate on the shear

Investigation of Effective Parameters on Self-Nucleation Phenomenon in Semi-Crystalline Polymers [PDF]
The crystallinity of semi-crystalline polymers is affected by both nucleation and growth processes, and the nucleation phase controls the kinetics of crystallization. In general, there are two types of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation.

Size dependence of volume and surface nucleation rates for homogeneous freezing of supercooled water droplets [PDF]
The relative roles of volume and surface nucleation were investigated for the homogeneous freezing of pure water droplets. Experiments were carried out in a cryogenic laminar aerosol flow tube using supercooled water aerosols with maximum volume ...

Technical note: Identification of two ice-nucleating regimes for dust-related cirrus clouds based on the relationship between number concentrations of ice-nucleating particles and ice crystals [PDF]
Large amounts of dust aerosols are lifted to the upper troposphere every year and play a major role in cirrus formation by acting as efficient ice nuclei.

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