Theoretical results of studying thermodynamic and structural characteristics of free droplets
and bubbles around nanosized solid heterogeneous spherical inclusions using …

Nanofluids with high thermal conductivities are gaining attention for heat-exchange
applications, particularly in boiling processes. Nanofluid heat-transfer efficiency is …

Existence of stable and unstable spherical shell-like vapor interlayers (or concentric
nanobubbles) near lyophobic surfaces has been proved and their thermodynamic properties …

We test the theoretical free energy surface (FES) for two-step nucleation (TSN) proposed by
Iwamatsu [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 164508 (2011)] by comparing the predictions of the theory to …

The classical density functional theory makes it possible to explicitly calculate the local
density profiles, the components of the pressure tensor, and the thicknesses of thin …

A classical square-gradient density functional theory is used for describing disjoining
pressure in vapor layers between a lyophobic planar smooth solid substrate and stable bulk …

Formation of a droplet around a spherical solid particle in supersaturated vapor is
considered. The number and stability of equilibrium solutions in a closed small system are …

It has been shown that stable equilibrium density profiles found within the gradient
approximation of the molecular density functional theory in concentric vapor shells …

The size, form and distribution function of catalyst particles define the quality of synthesized
arrays of carbon nanotubes. In this work, we study the kinetics of catalyst particle formation …
