Homogeneous nucleation of a noncritical phase near a continuous phase transition.
Homogeneous nucleation of a new phase near a second, continuous, transition, is considered. The continuous transition is in the metastable region associated with the first-order phase transition, one of whose coexisting phases is nucleating. Mean-field calculations show that as the continuous transition is approached, the size of the nucleus varies as the response function of the order paramete...
متن کاملHomogeneous crystal nucleation near a metastable fluid-fluid phase transition.
Several scenarios exist for the protein crystallization and aggregation in solutions near a metastable fluid-fluid phase separation below the solubility line. Based on computations, it was proposed that the fluid-fluid critical point enhances the crystallization rate by many orders of magnitude, while, based on experiments, it was proposed that the fluid-fluid spinodal controls the crystallizat...
متن کاملHomogeneous nucleation near a second phase transition and Ostwald’s step rule
Homogeneous nucleation of the new phase of one transition near a second phase transition is considered. The system has two phase transitions, we study the nucleation of the new phase of one of these transitions under conditions such that we are near or at the second phase transition. The second transition is an Ising-like transition and lies within the coexistence region of the first transition...
متن کاملHomogeneous nucleation of droplets from a supersaturated vapor phase
An approximate semianalytic theory is developed to describe the homogeneous nucleation of droplets from a supersaturated vapor, beginning with a partition function and including rigorously the translation and surface tension contributions. The liquid and vapor phases are treated as uniform ~step density profile! and may be described by any accurate equation of state. It is shown that the classi...
متن کاملNuclear Binding Near a Quantum Phase Transition.
How do protons and neutrons bind to form nuclei? This is the central question of ab initio nuclear structure theory. While the answer may seem as simple as the fact that nuclear forces are attractive, the full story is more complex and interesting. In this work we present numerical evidence from ab initio lattice simulations showing that nature is near a quantum phase transition, a zero-tempera...
