Nonclassical condensation pathways revealed by the multivariable theory of nucleation
Yijian Wu, Thomas Philippe
The paper extends classical nucleation theory by treating cluster size, density, and interfacial width as independent variables using dynamical density functional theory, revealing…
The seeding method: A test case for classical nucleation theory in small systems
Thomas Philippe, Yijian Wu, Aymane Graini
Molecular dynamics simulations are widely used to investigate nucleation in first-order phase transitions. Brute-force simulations, though popular, are limited to conditions of hig…
Nonclassical Nucleation Pathways in Liquid Condensation Revealed by Simulation and Theory
Yijian Wu, Thomas Philippe, Aymane Graini +1
Using state-of-the-art rare-event sampling simulations, we precisely characterize the nucleation of liquid droplets from a supersaturated Lennard-Jones gas and uncover a key physic…
Classical theory of nucleation applied to condensation of a Lennard-Jones fluid
Yijian Wu, Thomas Philippe
The classical nucleation theory (CNT) and its modified versions provide a convenient framework for describing the nucleation process under the capillary approximation. However, the…
