Curvature Corrections Remove the Inconsistencies of Binary Classical Nucleation Theory
Aasen, Ailo; Reguera, David; Wilhelmsen, Øivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The study of nucleation in fluid mixtures exposes challenges beyond those of pure systems. A striking example is homogeneous condensation in highly surface-active water-alcohol mixtures, where classical nucleation theory ... -
Free energy of critical droplets - From the binodal to the spinodal
Aasen, Ailo; Wilhelmsen, Øivind; Hammer, Morten; Reguera, David (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Arguably, the main challenge of nucleation theory is to accurately evaluate the work of formation of a critical embryo in the new phase, which governs the nucleation rate. In Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT), this work ... -
Phase transitions in multicomponent systems at the nano-scale: the existence of a minimal bubble size
Wilhelmsen, Øivind; Bedeaux, Dick; Kjelstrup, Signe; Reguera, David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The formation of nanoscale droplets/bubbles from a metastable bulk phase is still connected to many unresolved scientific questions. In this work we analyze the stability of multicomponent liquid droplets and bubbles in ...
