Ice nucleation is a process of great relevance in physics, chemistry, technology and environmental sciences, much theoretical and experimental efforts have been devoted to its understanding, but still it remains a topic of intense research.…

Droplet wicking and evaporation in porous nanochannels is experimentally studied on a heated surface at temperatures ranging from 35oC to 90oC. The fabricated geometry consists of cross-connected nanochannels of height 728 nm with…

Surfactants have been widely studied and used in controlling droplet evaporation. In this work, we observe and study the crystallization of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) within an evaporating glycerol-water mixture droplet. The…

Nucleation is an out-of-equilibrium process, which can be strongly affected by the presence of external fields. In this letter, we report a simple extension of classical nucleation theory to systems submitted to an homogeneous shear flow.…

The process of colloidal drying gives way to particle self-assembly in numerous elds including photonics or biotechnology. Yet, the mechanisms and conditions driving the nal particle arrangement in dry colloidal layers remain elusive. Here,…

Unimolecular evaporation in rotating, non-spherical atomic clusters is investigated using Phase Space Theory in its orbiting transition state version. The distributions of the total kinetic energy release epsilon_tr and the rotational…

For high- pressure nucleation experiments in upward diffusion cloud chamber, there is the great deviation of predictions of classical nucleation theory from experimental results; the discrepancy is more than 10 orders of magnitude of…

Water droplets coalesce into larger ones in atmospheric clouds to form rain. But droplets on collision courses do not always coalesce due to the cushioning effects of the air between them. The extent to which these so-called hydrodynamic…

Heterogeneous nucleation is a process wherein extrinsic impurities facilitate freezing by lowering nucleation barriers and constitutes the dominant mechanism for crystallization in most systems. Classical nucleation theory (\textsc{Cnt})…

We experimentally investigate the evaporation dynamics of sessile water droplets on a micro-nano textured superhydrophobic aluminum substrate at various temperatures using shadowgraphy imaging. By comparing the evaporation behavior of two…

The multivariable theory of nucleation [N. V. Alekseechkin, J. Chem. Phys. 124, 124512 (2006)] is applied to the droplet nucleation in a supersaturated single-component vapor; the droplet volume V, temperature T, and volume change rate…

CaSO4 minerals (i.e. gypsum, anhydrite and bassanite) are widespread in natural and industrial environments. During the last several years, a number of studies have revealed that nucleation in the CaSO4-H2O system is non-classical, where…

The dissolution of NaCl in water is one of the most common everyday processes, yet it remains poorly understood at the molecular level. Here we report the results of an extensive density functional theory study in which the initial stages…

We investigate evaporation of a sessile droplet on a non-wetted surface in the framework of diffusion-limited and quasi-steady evaporation. We extend previous models and numerically solve Laplace equation for the diffusion of liquid vapor…

We simulate the mesoscopic dynamics of droplets formed by phase separated fluids at nanometer scales where thermal fluctuations are significant. Both spherical droplets fully immersed in a second fluid and sessile droplets which are also in…

We investigate the interactions between two drops in a heated environment and analyze the effect of evaporation on bouncing, coalescence and reflexive separation phenomena. A reliable mass transfer model is incorporated in a coupled…

We performed a thorough investigation of the drying dynamics of a charged colloidal dispersion drop in a confined geometry. We developed an original methodology based on Raman micro-spectroscopy to measure spatially-resolved colloids…

This paper represents a theoretical and an experimental study of the spreading dynamics of a liquid droplet, generated by a needle free deposition system called the liquid needle droplet deposition technique. This technique utilizes a…

Crystallization during droplet evaporation gives rise to complex, self-organized structures, yet the mechanisms underlying the emergence of ordered functional phases remain poorly understood. In this study, we present a comprehensive,…

Thermodiffusion in aqueous electrolyte solutions exhibits complex dependencies on temperature, concentration, and salt composition, yet its microscopic origins remain incompletely understood. Here, we employ non-equilibrium molecular…
