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…
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…
