Robustness of classical nucleation theory to chemical heterogeneity of crystal nucleating substrates
Fernanda Sulantay Vargas, Sarwar Hussain, Amir Haji-Akbari
Heterogeneous nucleation is a process wherein extrinsic impurities facilitate freezing by lowering nucleation barriers and constitutes the dominant mechanism for crystallization in…
How to quantify and avoid finite size effects in computational studies of crystal nucleation: The case of homogeneous crystal nucleation
Sarwar Hussain, Amir Haji-Akbari
Finite size artifacts arise in molecular simulations of nucleation when critical nuclei are too close to their periodic images. A rigorous determination of what constitutes too clo…
Role of Nanoscale Interfacial Proximity in Contact Freezing in Water
Sarwar Hussain, Amir Haji-Akbari
Contact freezing is a mode of atmospheric ice nucleation in which a collision between a dry ice nucleating particle (INP) and a water droplet results in considerably faster heterog…
How to Quantify and Avoid Finite Size Effects in Computational Studies of Crystal Nucleation: The Case of Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation
Sarwar Hussain, Amir Haji-Akbari
Computational studies of crystal nucleation can be impacted by finite size effects, primarily due to unphysical interactions between crystalline nuclei and their periodic images. I…
Studying Rare Events using Forward-Flux Sampling: Recent Breakthroughs and Future Outlook
Sarwar Hussain, Amir Haji-Akbari
Rare events are processes that occur upon the emergence of unlikely fluctuations. Unlike what their name suggests, rare events are fairly ubiquitous in nature, as the occurrence of…
