Nucleation versus Spinodal decomposition in a first order quark hadron phase transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We investigate the scenario of homogeneous nucleation for a first order quark-hadron phase transition in a rapidly expanding background of quark gluon plasma.

Nucleation in binary polymer blends: Effects of foreign mesoscopic spherical particles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We study nucleation in binary polymer blends in the presence of mesoscopic spherical particles using self-consistent field theory, considering both heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation mechanisms.

Dynamics of homogeneous nucleation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015
The classical nucleation theory for homogeneous nucleation is formulated as a theory for a density fluctuation in a supersaturated gas at a given temperature. But molecular dynamics simulations reveal that it is small cold clusters which initiates the nucleation.

Overview: Homogeneous nucleation from the vapor phase-The experimental science.

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Physics, 2016
Homogeneous nucleation from the vapor phase has been a well-defined area of research for ∼120 yr. In this paper, we present an overview of the key experimental and theoretical developments that have made it possible to address some of the fundamental ...

Crystal nucleation of colloidal hard dumbbells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Using computer simulations we investigate the homogeneous crystal nucleation in suspensions of colloidal hard dumbbells. The free energy barriers are determined by Monte Carlo simulations using the umbrella sampling technique. We calculate the nucleation

A physically constrained classical description of the homogeneous nucleation of ice in water.

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Physics, 2016
Liquid water can persist in a supercooled state to below 238 K in the Earth's atmosphere, a temperature range where homogeneous nucleation becomes increasingly probable.

Theoretical approaches to nucleation in the gas phase. With a glimpse at experiments and dust formation in astrophysics

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
An overview of the physics of homogeneous nucleation is presented, focusing on the main theoretical approaches that are currently available. We review the microscopic assumptions behind classical nucleation theory, as well as several improvements with ...

A simulation study of homogeneous ice nucleation in supercooled salty water. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Physics, 2017
We use computer simulations to investigate the effect of salt on homogeneous ice nucleation. The melting point of the employed solution model was obtained both by direct coexistence simulations and by thermodynamic integration from previous calculations ...

The QCD phase transition in the inhomogeneous Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We investigate a new mechanism for the cosmological QCD phase transition: inhomogeneous nucleation. The primordial temperature fluctuations, measured to be $\delta T/T \sim 10^{-5}$, are larger than the tiny temperature interval, in which bubbles would ...
