Classical Nucleation Theory in Multicomponent Systems
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-06721-1 (ISBN)
Classical Nucleation Theory in Multicomponent Systems serves as a textbook for advanced thermodynamics courses, as well as an important reference for researchers in the field. The main topics covered are: the basic relevant thermodynamics and statistical physics; modelling a molecular cluster as a spherical liquid droplet; predicting the size and composition of the nucleating critical clusters; kinetic models for cluster growth and decay; calculating nucleation rates; and a full derivation and application of nucleation theorems that can be used to extract microscopic cluster properties from nucleation rate measurements.
The assumptions and approximations needed to build the classical theory are described in detail, and the reasons why the theory fails in certain cases are explained. Relevant problems are presented at the end of each chapter.
Fundamentals of thermodynamics.- Phase equilibrium.- Formation free energy.- Equilibrium cluster distribution.- Nucleation kinetics.- Nucleation theorems.- Basics of heterogeneous nucleation.- Beyond the classical theory.
