چکیده

We present a Ginzburg-Landau theory of ion-induced nucleation in a gas phase of polar one-component fluids, where a liquid droplet grows with an ion at its center. By calculating the density profile around an ion, we show that the solvation free energy is larger in gas than in liquid at the same temperature on the coexistence curve. This difference much reduces the nucleation barrier in a metastable gas.

Dipole Moment of Condensing Monomers: A New Parameter Controlling the Ion-Induced Nucleation

016101-1 Many chemically active, hazardous, and toxic substances have a high dipole moment, and they interact strongly with the charged particles and molecular ion clusters. A new nucleation model considering the contribution of the dipole-charge interaction to the ion-induced nucleation rates is developed, with the dipole moment of the condensing monomers as a new parameter. It is shown that i...

Formation of binary ion clusters from polar vapours: effect of the dipole-charge interaction

Formation of binary cluster ions from polar vapours is considered. The effect of vapour polarity on the size and composition of the critical clusters is investigated theoretically and a corrected version of classical KelvinThomson theory of binary ion-induced nucleation is derived. The model predictions of the derived theory are compared to the results given by classical binary homogeneous nucl...

Nucleation of monosodium urate crystals.

(1) Calcium greatly increased crystallization of monosodium urate in otherwise pure water, by enhancing both nucleation and growth. (2) Acid accelerated urate nucleation, both by its direct action and indirectly by increasing the free calcium in physiological fluids. (3) Synovial fluid from one gouty patient accelerated urate nucleation, while that from one rheumatoid patient inhibited nucleati...

Aerosol nucleation induced by a high energy particle beam

[1] We have studied sulfuric acid aerosol nucleation in an atmospheric pressure reaction chamber using a 580 MeV electron beam to ionize the volume of the reaction chamber. We find a clear contribution from ion‐induced nucleation and consider this to be the first unambiguous observation of the ion‐effect on aerosol nucleation using a particle beam under conditions that resemble the Earth’s atmo...
