This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

The vitrification of pure water is compared with that of molecular solutions rich in water, and
gross differences are noted. Thermodynamic reasoning and direct observations on …

Nucleation, the initial process in vapor condensation, crystal nucleation, melting, and
boiling, is the localized emergence of a distinct thermodynamic phase at the nanoscale that …

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 …

Water nanoparticles play an important role in atmospheric processes, yet their equilibrium
and nonequilibrium liquid–ice phase transitions and the structures they form on freezing are …

We present a simple approach to calculate the solid-liquid interfacial free energy. This new
method is based on the classical nucleation theory. Using the molecular dynamics …

This review provides an introduction to ice nucleation processes in supercooled water and
aqueous solutions. Concepts for experimental techniques suitable to study homogeneous …

Surface tension is a macroscopic manifestation of the cohesion of matter, and its value σ∞ is
readily measured for a flat liquid-vapor interface. For interfaces with a small radius of …

Heterogeneous nucleation constitutes the initial step in the formation of new aerosol
particles that evolve on the surface of pre-existing (seed) particles. To this end the …

Nanometer‐size particles such as ultrafine aerosol particles, ice nanoparticles, water
nanodroplets, etc, play an important, however, not yet fully understood role in the …
