Abstract

Recent theoretical and experimental advances in the study of homogeneous nucleation are reviewed, with emphasis placed on phase transitions involving single-component liquids (condensation, cavitation, and crystallization from the melt). Extensions of classical nucleation theory are described and compared with new experiments that now directly measure nucleation rates. Novel methods of statistical mechanics, including density-functional theory and computer simulations, are presented. The recent rapid evolution of this field has opened up many new questions for further research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
