Nucleation, commonly associated with discontinuous transformations between metastable and stable phases, is crucial in fields as diverse as atmospheric science and nanoscale electronics. Traditionally, it is considered a microscopic process…

We prove the existence of non-trivial phase transitions for the intersection of two independent random interlacements and the complement of the intersection. Some asymptotic results about the phase curves are also obtained. Moreover, we…
