Long-wavelength density fluctuations as nucleation precursors

James F. Lutsko, Julien Lam

Recent theories of nucleation that go beyond Classical Nucleation Theory predict that diffusion-limited nucleation of both liquid droplets and of crystals from a low-density vapor…

Entropy-driven impurity-induced nematic-isotropic transition of liquid crystals

Pritam Kumar Jana, Julien Lam, Nagma Parveen +2

Phase behavior of liquid crystals is of long-standing interest due to numerous applications, with one of the key issues being how the presence of impurities affects the liquid crys…

Alloy, Janus and core-shell nanoparticles: Numerical modeling of their nucleation and growth in physical synthesis

Georg Daniel Förster, Magali Benoit, Julien Lam

While alloy, core-shell and Janus binary nanoclusters are found in more and more technological applications, their formation mechanisms are still poorly understood, especially duri…

Atomistic Mechanisms for the Nucleation of Aluminium Oxide Nanoparticles

Julien Lam, David Amans, Christophe Dujardin +2

A predictive model for nanoparticle nucleation has not yet been successfully achieved. Classical nucleation theory fails because the atomistic nature of the seed has to be consider…
