Clathrate hydrates are solid crystalline structures most commonly formed from solutions that
have nucleated to form a mixed solid composed of water and gas. Understanding the …

Understanding the liquid-solid phase transition mechanisms and dynamics is of boundless
scientific significance, and holds enormous technological relevance in designing mono or …

Studies on homogeneous nucleation have been conducted for decades, but a large gap
between experiment and theory persists when evaluating the nucleation rate because the …

The sorption of vapor molecules onto pre-existing nanometer sized clusters is of importance
in understanding particle formation and growth in gas phase environments and devising gas …

The pollution caused by sulfuric acid mist emissions has attracted attention due to demand
of low emissions. In this work, molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate effects …

Crystallization is a vital process in nature and technology; however, the detailed microscopic

Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT) has recently been used in conjunction with a seeding
approach to simulate nucleation phenomena at small-to-moderate supersaturation …

Growth of a cubic nanoparticle was studied by classical molecular dynamics simulation for
three seed sizes in nine different supersaturation ratios. Similar to the spherical seed in our …

Water vapor nucleation on particle's surface plays an important role in dust removal, cloud
formation, and particle measurement. However, the selectivity of nucleation sites and the …

Ions make a significant contribution to the nucleation dynamics of aqueous aerosol particles,
