This review intends to critically assess recent findings related to nucleation and growth of
atmospheric nanoparticles, with an emphasis on the understanding of these processes at a …

Homogeneous nucleation from the vapor phase has been a well-defined area of research
for∼ 120 yr. In this paper, we present an overview of the key experimental and theoretical …

Small particles play major roles in modulating radiative and hydrological fluxes in the
atmosphere and thus they impact both climate (IPCC 2007) and weather. Most atmospheric …

The spinodal represents the limit of thermodynamic stability of a homogeneous fluid. In this
work, we present a robust methodology to obtain the spinodal of multicomponent fluids …

The gradient density functional theory and the Carnahan–Starling model formulated for
describing the contribution of hard spheres have been used to calculate the profiles of …

A scheme of computation of the condensate chemical potential per molecule as a function of
the droplet equimolecular radius for stable and critical droplets on uncharged or charged …

We present a model to describe ion-induced nucleation in fluids. Nucleation is induced by a
charged molecular aggregate, a large ion, a charged colloid, or an aerosol particle. This …

Molecular dynamic simulations have been carried out to examine the possibility of
reproducing the well-known properties of liquid methanol. In this work, nine different models …

Nucleation theories involving the concept of nonsharp boundary between the droplet and
vapor are compared to recent molecular dynamics (MD) simulation data of Lennard-Jones …

Nucleation is a kinetic process that initiates the decay of metastable thermodynamic states
via localized density fluctuations. These fluctuations trigger a nonequilibrium first-order …
