COLIS: an advanced light scattering apparatus for investigating the structure and dynamics of soft matter onboard the International Space Station
Alessandro Martinelli, Stefano Buzzaccaro, Quentin Galand +8
Colloidal Solids (COLIS) is a state-of-the-art light scattering setup developed for experiments onboard the International Space Station (ISS). COLIS allows for probing the structur…
Reconsidering Power Functional Theory
James F. Lutsko, Martin Oettel
The original derivation of Power Functional Theory, Schmidt and Brader, JCP 138, 214101 (2013), is reworked in some detail with a view to clarifying and simplifying the logic and m…
Solvent-mediated interactions between nanostructures: from water to Lennard-Jones liquid
Julien Lam, James F. Lutsko
Solvent-mediated interactions emerge from complex mechanisms that depend on the solute structure, its wetting properties and the nature of the liquid. While numerous studies have f…
Classical density functional theory, unconstrained crystallization, and polymorphic behavior
James F. Lutsko, Julien Lam
While in principle, finite temperature density functional theory (ftDFT) should be a powerful tool for the study of crystallization, in practice this has not so far been the case.…
Solute particle near a nanopore: influence of size and surface properties on the solvent-mediated forces
Julien Lam, James F. Lutsko
Nanoscopic pores are used in various systems to attract nanoparticles. In general the behaviour is a result of two types of interactions: the material specific affinity and the sol…
Lattice induced crystallization of nanodroplets: the role of finite-size effects and substrate properties in controlling polymorphism
Julien Lam, James F. Lutsko
Targeting specific technological applications requires the control of nanoparticle properties, especially the crystalline polymorph. Freezing a nanodroplet deposited on a solid sub…
Mechanism for the stabilization of protein clusters above the solubility curve
James F. Lutsko, Grégoire Nicolis
Pan, Vekilov and Lubchenko[\textit{J. Phys. Chem. B}, 2010, \textbf{114}, 7620] have proposed that dense stable protein clusters appearing in weak protein solutions above the solub…
Unification of classical nucleation theories via unified Itô-Stratonovich stochastic equation
Miguel A. Durán-Olivencia, James F. Lutsko
Classical nucleation theory (CNT) is the most widely used framework to describe the early stage of first-order phase transitions. Unfortunately the different points of view adopted…
Extending classical nucleation theory to confined systems
Miguel A. Durán-Olivencia, James F. Lutsko
Classical nucleation theory has been recently reformulated based on fluctuating hydrodynamics [J.F. Lutsko and M.A. Durán-Olivencia, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 244908 (2013)]. The present…
Nucleation of colloids and macromolecules in a finite volume
James F. Lutsko
A recently formulated description of homogeneous nucleation for Brownian particles in the over-damped limit based on fluctuating hydrodynamics is used to determine the nucleation p…
Nucleation of colloids and macromolecules: does the nucleation pathway matter?
James F. Lutsko
A recent description of diffusion-limited nucleation based on fluctuating hydrodynamics that extends classical nucleation theory predicts a very non-classical two-step scenario whe…
A dynamical theory of nucleation for colloids and macromolecules
James F. Lutsko
A general theory of nucleation for colloids and macromolecules in solution is formulated within the context of fluctuating hydrodynamics. A formalism for the determination of nucle…
A dynamical theory of homogeneous nucleation for colloids and macromolecules
James F. Lutsko
Homogeneous nucleation is formulated within the context of fluctuating hydrodynamics. It is shown that for a colloidal or macromolecular system in the strong damping limit the most…
On the role of metastable intermediate states in the homogeneous nucleation of solids from solution
James F. Lutsko
The role of metastable liquid phases in vapor-crystal nucleation is studied using Density Functional Theory(DFT). The model gives a semi-quantitatively accurate description of both…

The Squared-Gradient approximation to the Modified-Core Van der Waals density functional theory model is developed. A simple, explicit expression for the SGA coefficient involving…
Kinetic roughening-like transition with finite nucleation barrier
James F. Lutsko, Vasileios Basios, Gregoire Nicolis +3
Recent observations of the growth of protein crystals have identified two different growth regimes. At low supersaturation, the surface of the crystal is smooth and increasing in s…
