Impact of formulations of the homogeneous nucleation rate on ice nucleation events in cirrus [PDF]
Homogeneous freezing of solution droplets is an important pathway of ice formation in the tropopause region. The nucleation rate can be parameterized as a function of water activity, based on empirical fits and some assumptions on the underlying ...

Statistical Approach to Crystal Nucleation in Glass-Forming Liquids
In this work, methods of description of crystal nucleation by using the statistical approach are analyzed. Findings from classical nucleation theory (CNT) for the average time of formation of the first supercritical nucleus are linked with experimental ...

Homogeneous ice nucleation rates for mW and TIP4P/ICE models through Lattice Mold calculations [PDF]
Water freezing is the most common liquid-to-crystal phase transition on Earth, however, despite its critical implications on climate change and cryopreservation among other disciplines, its characterization through experimental and computational ...

Imaging the homogeneous nucleation during the melting of superheated colloidal crystals [PDF]
The nucleation process is crucial to many phase transitions, but its kinetics are difficult to predict and measure. We superheated and melted the interior of thermal-sensitive colloidal crystals and investigated by means of video microscopy the ...
