Interfacial Free Energy as the Key to the Pressure-Induced Deceleration of Ice Nucleation
Jorge R. Espinosa, Alberto Zaragoza, Pablo Rosales-Peláez +4
The avoidance of water freezing is the holy grail in the cryopreservation of biological samples, food, and organs. Fast cooling rates are used to beat ice nucleation and avoid cell…
Solubility of carbon dioxide in water: some useful results for hydrate nucleation
Jesús Algaba, Iván M. Zerón, José Manuel Míguez +5
In this paper, the solubility of carbon dioxide (CO) in water along the isobar of 400 bar is determined by computer simulations using the well-known TIP4P/Ice force field for…
Interfacial free energy and Tolman length of curved liquid-solid interfaces from equilibrium studies
P. Montero de Hijes, Jorge. R. Espinosa, Valentino Bianco +2
In this work, we study by means of simulations of hard spheres the equilibrium between a spherical solid cluster and the fluid. In the NVT ensemble we observe stable/metastable clu…
Anomalous Behavior in the Nucleation of Ice at Negative Pressures
Valentino Bianco, Pablo Montero de Hijes, Cintia P. Lamas +2
Ice nucleation is a phenomenon that, despite the relevant implications for life, atmospheric sciences, and technological applications, is far from being completely understood, espe…
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…
Equivalence between condensation and boiling in a Lennard Jones fluid
I. Sanchez-Burgos, P. Montero de Hijes, P. Rosales-Pelaez +2
Condensation and boiling are phase transitions highly relevant to industry, geology or atmospheric science. These phase transitions are initiated by the nucleation of a drop in a s…
