Dependence of homogeneous crystal nucleation in water droplets on their radii and its implication for modeling the formation of ice particles in cirrus clouds
Yuri S. Djikaev, Eli Ruckenstein
We propose an approximation for the total ice nucleation rate J=J(T,R) in supercooled water droplets as a function of both droplet radius R and temperature T, taking account of bot…
The effect of water-water hydrogen bonding on the hydrophobic hydration of macroparticles and its temperature dependence
Yuri S. Djikaev
A theoretical model for the effect of water hydrogen bonding on the thermodynamics of hydrophobic hydration is proposed as a combination of the classical density functional theory…
Thermodynamics of heterogeneous crystal nucleation in contact and immersion modes
Y. S. Djikaev, E. Ruckenstein
One of most intriguing problems of heterogeneous crystal nucleation in droplets is its strong enhancement in the contact mode (when the foreign particle is presumably in some kind…
Histogram analysis as a method for determining the line tension by Monte-Carlo simulations
Yuri Djikaev
A method is proposed for determining the line tension, which is the main physical characteristic of a three-phase contact region, by Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations. The key idea of t…
Geometric view of the thermodynamics of adsorption at a line of three-phase contact
Y. Djikaev, B. Widom
We consider three fluid phases meeting at a line of common contact and study the linear excesses per unit length of the contact line (the linear adsorptions Lambda_i) of the fluid'…
