A common model used to quantify nucleation kinetics based on a thermodynamic framework, classical nucleation theory (CNT), suggests that water molecules must form an ice nucleus of critical size ...

Other investigations have focused on the kinetics of atmospheric ice nucleation, providing advanced parameterisations that integrate classical and non‐classical nucleation pathways, thereby ...

Nucleation is the creation of structure in a vapor, solution, or liquid. The scientists found that the nuclei came in a broad range of shapes and sizes and possess a diffuse interface surrounding a ...

The ice saturation ratio at which 1% of aged silver iodide and lead iodide aerosol particles nucleate ice from moist air is observed to depend on temperature. Between roughly −30 and −67°C the ...

Now researchers have gotten their first glimpse of the details of the process, imaging individual atoms during nucleation in metal nanoparticles (Nature 2019, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1317-x).

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 116, No. 26 (June 25, 2019), pp. 12678-12683 (6 pages) Heterogeneous bubble nucleation is one of the most ...

Golnaz Roudsari will defend her doctoral thesis titled "Computational studies of heterogeneous ice nucleation on non-ideal silver iodide surfaces" on Thursday 28th of April 2022 at 12:00 in Exactum, ...
