Heterogeneity in homogeneous nucleation from billion-atom molecular dynamics simulation of solidification of pure metal [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Nucleation is a fundamental physical process, however it is a long-standing issue whether completely homogeneous nucleation can occur. Here the authors reveal, via a billion-atom molecular dynamics simulation, that local heterogeneity exists during ...

Igniting homogeneous nucleation [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2004 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-D\"oring kinetic equations with two different models of discrete ...

Nonisothermal homogeneous nucleation [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 1992 Classical homogeneous nucleation theory is extended to nonisothermal conditions through simultaneous cluster mass and energy balances. The transient nucleation of water vapor following a sudden increase in saturation ratio is studied by numerically ...

Investigation of Effective Parameters on Self-Nucleation Phenomenon in Semi-Crystalline Polymers [PDF]
Baspārish, 2022 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]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 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 ...
