Estimating metastable thermodynamic properties by isochoric extrapolation from stable states
Aasen, Ailo; Hammer, Morten; Reguera, David; Wilhelmsen, Øivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The description of metastable fluids, those in local but not global equilibrium, remains an important problem of thermodynamics, and it is crucial for many industrial applications and all first order phase transitions. One ... -
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 ...
