Heterogeneous versus homogeneous crystal nucleation in hard spheres
Jorge R. Espinosa, Carlos Vega, Chantal Valeriani +2
Hard-sphere model systems are well-suited in both experiment and simulations to investigate fundamental aspects of the crystallization of fluids. In experiments on colloidal models…
Homogeneous Ice Nucleation Rate in Water Droplets
Jorge R. Espinosa, Carlos Vega, Eduardo Sanz
To predict the radiative forcing of clouds it is necessary to know the rate with which ice homogeneously nucleates in supercooled water. Such rate is often measured in drops to avo…
Phase boundaries, nucleation rates and speed of crystal growth of the water-to-ice transition under an electric field: a simulation study
Alberto Zaragoza, Jorge R Espinosa, Regina Ramos +6
We investigate with computer simulations the effect of applying an electric field on the water-to-ice transition. We use a combination of state-of-the-art simulation techniques to…
