Homogeneous nucleation under shear in a two-dimensional Ising model: cluster growth, coalescence and breakup

Rosalind J. Allen, Chantal Valeriani, Sorin Tanase-Nicola +2

We compute rates and pathways for nucleation in a sheared two dimensional Ising model with Metropolis spin flip dynamics, using Forward Flux Sampling (FFS). We find a peak in the n…
