A microscopic approach to crystallization: challenging the classical/non-classical dichotomy
James F. Lutsko, Cédric Schoonen
Recently, it was shown that a theoretical description of nucleation based on fluctuating hydrodynamics and classical density functional theory can be used to determine non-classica…
How crystals form: A theory of nucleation pathways
James F. Lutsko
Recent advances in classical density functional theory are combined with stochastic process theory and rare event techniques to formulate a theoretical description of nucleation, i…
Systematically extending classical nucleation theory
James F. Lutsko
The foundation for any discussion of first-order phse transitions is Classical Nucleation Theory(CNT). CNT, developed in the first half of the twentieth century, is based on a numb…
Mechanism for the stabilization of protein clusters above the solubility curve: the role of non-ideal chemical reactions
James F. Lutsko
Dense protein clusters are known to play an important role in nucleation of protein crystals from dilute solutions. While these have generally been thought to be formed from a meta…
A Two-parameter Extension of Classical Nucleation Theory
James F. Lutsko, Miguel A. Durán-Olivencia
A two-variable stochastic model for diffusion-limited nucleation is developed using a formalism derived from fluctuating hydrodynamics. The model is a direct generalization of the…
Classical nucleation theory from a dynamical approach to nucleation
James F. Lutsko, Miguel A. Durán-Olivencia
It is shown that diffusion-limited classical nucleation theory (CNT) can be recovered as a simple limit of the recently proposed dynamical theory of nucleation based on fluctuating…
