Condensation and boiling are phase transitions highly relevant to industry, geology or atmospheric science. These phase transitions are initiated by the nucleation of a drop in a supersaturated vapor and of a bubble in an overstretched…
A liquid is termed strongly correlating if its virial and potential energy thermal equilibrium fluctuations in the NVT ensemble are more than 90% correlated [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 015701 (2008)]. The fluctuations of a strongly correlating…
