Mar 7, 2024 · Based on the theories of crystal nucleation and growth, this paper provides a comprehensive review of molecular-scale inhibition techniques and their corresponding mechanisms.

Dec 17, 2024 · Crystal nucleation and growth of magnetite was shown to proceed through rapid agglomeration of primary nanoparticles and that in contrast to the nucleation of other minerals, no intermediate amorphous bulk precursor phase was involved.

Jan 16, 2025 · This work demonstrates different gypsum nucleation pathways on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces through in situ microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations.

In this article, we review recent findings of nucleation and crystal growth behaviors at the nanoscale, paying close attention to those that deviate from the classical theories in various electrodeposition systems.

Aug 30, 2024 · By inserting a crystal seed, the free energy barrier of nucleation is artificially overcome, allowing for the study of more realistic conditions closer to the melting temperature.

Mar 19, 2024 · In this study, we present a graph neural network (GNN)-based learning approach using an autoencoder setup to derive low-dimensional variables from features observed in experimental crystal structures.

Oct 16, 2024 · The integro-differential model of kinetic and balance equations includes the growth velocity of spherical crystals for the two-step nucleation mechanism as well as initial and boundary conditions. We derived the exact analytical solutions in …

May 17, 2024 · Here, we employ femtosecond x-ray diffraction from microscopic liquid jets to study crystal nucleation in supercooled liquids of the rare gases argon and krypton.

Feb 15, 2024 · Crystallization, a fundamental process in nature and industry, is pivotal in forming structured solids from liquids or gases. It involves the orderly arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules into a highly organized, repeating pattern known as a crystal lattice.

Oct 7, 2024 · In the present work, we provide a detailed view on the nucleation of calcium sulfate mineralization—an abundant mineral with broad use in construction industry—in aqueous systems at ambient conditions.
