Nucleation in Gas–Liquid Transitions
Vicente Talanquer
Department of Chemistry, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721
Cover
July 2002
Vol. 79 No. 7
p. 877
Abstract
The dynamic processes that lead to the formation of a new phase are of central interest in physical and atmospheric sciences. In particular, the nucleation of a stable phase via the formation of droplets, bubbles, or small crystals determines important processes such as the formation of clouds and the casting of metals. Recent experimental and theoretical advances in the study of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in fluids are reviewed, putting special emphasis on phase transitions involving gases and liquids in single and multicomponent systems.
