Out-of-equilibrium Polymorph Selection in Nanoparticle Freezing
Jonathan Amodeo, Fabio Pietrucci, Julien Lam
The ability to design synthesis processes that are out of equilibrium has opened the possibility of creating nanomaterials with remarkable physico-chemical properties, choosing fro…
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…
Comparison of aluminum oxide empirical potentials from cluster to nanoparticle
Gaétan Laurens, David Amans, Julien Lam +1
Aluminum oxide nanoparticles are increasingly sought in numerous technological applications. However, as the nanoparticles grow during the synthesis, two phase transitions occur. A…
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…
