BACKGROUND Recent experimental and theoretical studies have shown that several small proteins reach the native state by a nucleation-collapse mechanism. Studies based on lattice models have been used to suggest that the critical nucleus is specific, leading to the notion that the transition state may be unique. On the other hand, results of studies using off-lattice models show that the critica...
The structural evolution of planar Si clusters and the nucleation mechanism of silicene in the initial stages of silicene epitaxial growth on a Ag(111) surface are studied by using ab initio calculations and two-dimensional nucleation theory. The ground-state SiN clusters (1 ≤ N ≤ 25) on the Ag(111) surface are found to undergo a significant structural transition from non-hexagonal plane struct...
The role of cubic ice, ice Ic, in the nucleation of ice from supercooled water has been widely debated in the past decade. Computer simulations can provide insightful information about the mechanism of ice nucleation at a molecular scale. In this work, we use molecular dynamics to study the competition between ice Ic and hexagonal ice, ice Ih, in the process of ice nucleation. Using a seeding a...
The nucleation mechanism involving rapid solidification of undercooled La-Fe-Si melts has been studied experimentally and theoretically. The classical nucleation theory-based simulations show a competitive nucleation process between the α-(Fe,Si) phase (size approximately 10 to 30 nm) and the cubic NaZn13-type phase (hereinafter 1:13 phase, size approximately 200 to 400 nm) during rapid solidif...
Damage nucleation from repeated dislocation absorption at a grain boundary is simulated with molecular dynamics. At the grain boundary–dislocation intersection site, atomic shuffling events determine how the free volume brought by the incoming dislocation is accommodated. This process in turn determines the crack nucleation mechanism, as well as the critical strain and number of dislocations th...
The mechanism for forming linear microtubule (MT) arrays in cells such as neurons, polarized epithelial cells, and myotubes is not well understood. A simpler bipolar linear array is the fission yeast interphase MT bundle, which in its basic form contains two MTs that are bundled at their minus ends. Here, we characterize mto2p as a novel fission yeast protein required for MT nucleation from non...
The Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM) is evaluated against atmospheric observations of aerosol number concentrations. The model is extended to include an explicit mechanism for new particle formation and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from biogenic precursors. Three nucleation mechanisms are included in NorESM: binary sulfuric acid, activation type, and organic nucleation. Ten mo...
The application of ultrasound to crystallization (i.e., sonocrystallization) can dramatically affect the properties of the crystalline products. Sonocrystallization induces rapid nucleation that generally yields smaller crystals of a more narrow size distribution compared to quiescent crystallizations. The mechanism by which ultrasound induces nucleation remains unclear although reports show th...
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for CO2 dissolved in water near silica surfaces to investigate how the hydrophilicity and crystallinity of solid surfaces modulate the local structure of adjacent molecules and the nucleation of CO2 hydrates. Our simulations reveal that the hydrophilicity of solid surfaces can change the local structure of water molecules and gas distribution near l...
Experimental damage mechanics of flip chip solder joints under current stressing is studied using 20 test vehicle flip chip modules. Three different failure modes are observed. The dominant damage mechanism is caused by the combined effect of electromigration and thermomigration, where void nucleation and growth lead to the ultimate failure of the module. It is observed that thermomigration dri...
