A maximum-entropy approach to the adiabatic freezing of a supercooled liquid
Santi Prestipino
I employ the van der Waals theory of Baus and coworkers to analyze the fast, adiabatic decay of a supercooled liquid in a closed vessel with which the solidification process usuall…

A fingerprint of surface-tension anisotropy in the free-energy cost of nucleation
Santi Prestipino, Alessandro Laio, Erio Tosatti
We focus on the Gibbs free energy for nucleating a droplet of the stable phase (e.g. solid) inside the metastable parent phase (e.g. liquid), close to the first-order transiti…
