Simple improvements to classical bubble nucleation models.
We revisit classical nucleation theory (CNT) for the homogeneous bubble nucleation rate and improve the classical formula using a correct prefactor in the nucleation rate. Most of the previous theoretical studies have used the constant prefactor determined by the bubble growth due to the evaporation process from the bubble surface. However, the growth of bubbles is also regulated by the thermal...
متن کاملFluctuation corrections to bubble nucleation.
The fluctuation determinant which determines the preexponential factor of the transition rate for minimal bubbles is computed for the electroweak theory with sinΘW = 0. As the basic action we use the three-dimensional high-temperature action including, besides temperature dependent masses, the TΦ one-loop contribution whcih makes the phase transition first order. The results show that this term...
متن کاملElectroweak Bubble Nucleation , Nonperturbatively
We present a lattice method to compute bubble nucleation rates at radiatively induced first order phase transitions, in high temperature, weakly coupled field theories, nonperturbatively. A generalization of Langer’s approach, it makes no recourse to saddle point expansions and includes completely the dynamical prefactor. We test the technique by applying it to the electroweak phase transition ...
متن کاملSurface bubble nucleation stability.
Recent research has revealed several different techniques for nanoscopic gas nucleation on submerged surfaces, with findings seemingly in contradiction with each other. In response to this, we have systematically investigated the occurrence of surface nanobubbles on a hydrophobized silicon substrate for various different liquid temperatures and gas concentrations, which we controlled independen...
متن کاملFermionic fluctuation corrections to bubble nucleation.
We determine the fermionic corrections to the nucleation rate of bubbles at the electroweak phase transition. The fermion determinant is evaluated exactly and by using the gradient expansion. The gradient expansion is found to be a reliable approximation and is used to extrapolate to the large values of νn = (2n+ 1)πT needed in the Matsubara sum. The contribution to effective action is found to...
