Extension of classical nucleation theory for uniformly sheared systems.
Nucleation is an out-of-equilibrium process that can be strongly affected by the presence of external fields. In this paper, we report a simple extension of classical nucleation theory to systems submitted to an homogeneous shear flow. The theory involves accounting for the anisotropy of the critical nucleus formation and introduces a shear-rate-dependent effective temperature. This extended th...
متن کاملUniformly classical quasi-primary submodules
In this paper we introduce the notions of uniformly quasi-primary ideals and uniformly classical quasi-primary submodules that generalize the concepts of uniformly primary ideals and uniformly classical primary submodules; respectively. Several characterizations of classical quasi-primary and uniformly classical quasi-primary submodules are given. Then we investigate for a ring $R$, when any fi...
متن کاملSystematic improvement of classical nucleation theory.
We reconsider the applicability of classical nucleation theory (CNT) to the calculation of the free energy of solid cluster formation in a liquid and its use to the evaluation of interface free energies from nucleation barriers. Using two different freezing transitions (hard spheres and NaCl) as test cases, we first observe that the interface-free-energy estimates based on CNT are generally in ...
متن کاملNucleation in Sheared Granular Matter.
We present an experiment on crystallization of packings of macroscopic granular spheres. This system is often considered to be a model for thermally driven atomic or colloidal systems. Cyclically shearing a packing of frictional spheres, we observe a first order phase transition from a disordered to an ordered state. The ordered state consists of crystallites of mixed fcc and hcp symmetry that ...
متن کاملThe Validity of Classical Nucleation Theory for Ising Models
While the classical nucleation theory (CNT) is widely used to predict the rate of first-order phase transitions, its validity has been questioned due to discrepancies with experiments. We systematically test the individual components of CNT by computer simulations of the Ising models and confirm its fundamental assumptions under a wide range of conditions (h = 0.01-0.13 J, T = 0.44-0.84 Tc in 2...
