Homogeneous Bubble Nucleation driven by local hot spots: a Molecular Dynamics Study
Zun-Jing Wang, Chantal Valeriani, Daan Frenkel
We report a Molecular Dynamics study of homogenous bubble nucleation in a Lennard-Jones fluid. The rate of bubble nucleation is estimated using forward-flux sampling (FFS). We find…
Out-of-equilibrium processes in suspensions of oppositely charged colloids: liquid-to-crystal nucleation and gel formation
Eduardo Sanz, Chantal Valeriani, Teun Vissers +5
We study the kinetics of the liquid-to-crystal transformation and of gel formation in colloidal suspensions of oppositely charged particles. We analyse, by means of both computer s…
Local structure of liquid carbon controls diamond nucleation
L. M. Ghiringhelli, C. Valeriani, E. J. Meijer +1
Diamonds melt at temperatures above 4000 K. There are no measurements of the steady-state rate of the reverse process: diamond nucleation from the melt, because experiments are dif…
Computing stationary distributions in equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems with Forward Flux Sampling
Chantal Valeriani, Rosalind J. Allen, Marco J. Morelli +2
We present a method for computing stationary distributions for activated processes in equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems using Forward Flux Sampling (FFS). In this method, the…
Rate of Homogeneous Crystal Nucleation in molten NaCl
C. Valeriani, E. Sanz, D. Frenkel
We report a numerical simulation of the rate of crystal nucleation of sodium chloride from its melt at moderate supercooling. In this regime nucleation is too slow to be studied wi…
