Comment on "Elucidating the mechanism of nucleation near the gas-liquid spinodal".
We have constructed a multidimensional free energy surface of nucleation of the liquid phase from the parent supercooled and supersaturated vapor phase near the gas-liquid spinodal. In particular, we remove the Becker-Doring constraint of having only one growing cluster in the system. Close to the spinodal, the free energy, as a function of the size of the largest cluster, develops surprisingly...
متن کاملBreakup of Universality in the Generalized Spinodal Nucleation Theory
The problem of nucleation near spinodal is revisited. It is shown that the standard scaling argument due to Unger and Klein [Phys. Rev. B 29:2698–2708 (1984)] based on neglecting all but the first two terms of the Taylor expansion of the potential in the free energy functional is only valid below critical dimension. At critical dimension, the nucleating droplet has a bigger amplitude and a smal...
متن کاملMean-field theory of nucleation and growth on strained surfaces
Mean-field nucleation and growth modeling is important for understanding various adsorbatesubstrate systems, particularly in the context of epitaxial growth. Conventional mean-field theory does not take into account non-local interactions, but adparticles may interact with strained islands via long range elastic interactions mediated by the substrate. We show that recent extensions of mean-fiel...
متن کاملun 1 99 3 Non - linear mean field dynamics in the nuclear spinodal zone
We demonstrate, by numerical simulations, that the dynamics of nuclear matter mean field inside the spinodal region is chaotic. Spontaneous symmetry-breaking-no explicit fluctuating term is considered-occurs leading to wild unpredictable density fluctuations. A proper recipe to calculate an average Lyapunov exponent in this multidimensional phase space is introduced. The latter is calculated fo...
متن کاملTransient Nucleation in Glasses
r(NJ Nucleation rates in condensed systems are frequently not at their steady state values. Such time dependent (or transient) nucleation is most clearly observed in devitrification studies of metallic and silicate glasses. The origin of transient nucleation and its role in the formation and stability of desired phases and microstructures are discussed. Numerical models of nucleation in isother...
