Classical density functional theory, unconstrained crystallization, and polymorphic behavior

Classical DFT calculations of a liquid droplet attached to a wall. As the temperature is lowered, more and more structure develops until the droplet spontaneously crystallizes.

portfolio

The physical basis of step pinning.

Step growth in the presence of impurities is governed by thermodynamics - not kinetics.

2-variable extension of classical nucleation theory.

Mesoscopic Nucleation Theory is used to construct a two-variable theory of droplet muceation that reveals non-classical behavior. The figure shows the free energy surface for droplet nucleation with the horizontal and vertical axes being the cluster radius and the density inside the cluster, respectively. The line is the most likely path for droplet nucleation from an initial low-density vapor.

Observing classical nucleation theory at work by monitoring phase transitions with molecular precision.

Microscopic observation of nucleation on a surface.

Mesoscopic Impurities Expose a Nucleation-Limited Regime of Crystal Growth

Step growth has both deterministic and stochastic regimes

Step Crowding Effects Dampen the Stochasticity of Crystal Growth Kinetics

Macrosteps can grow under conditions of low supersaturation and high impurity density such that elementary step growth is completely arrested.

Solute particle near a nanopore: influence of size and surface properties on the solvent-mediated forces

Nanoscopic pores are used to attract macromolecules.

Lattice induced crystallization of nanodroplets: the role of finite-size effects and substrate properties in controlling polymorphism

Freezing a nanodroplet deposited on a solid substrate leads to the formation of crystalline structures..

Mineral Growth beyond the Limits of Impurity Poisoning

Crystal surfaces populated with macrosteps continue to grow even when single steps are stopped by surface bound impurities due to a novel mechanism exposed in our simulations: the macrostep facet provides an escape route for single steps to grow in the direction normal to the vicinal face, allowing crystals to break the kinetic barrier of the impurity fence.

Classical density functional theory, unconstrained crystallization, and polymorphic behavior

Classical DFT calculations of a liquid droplet attached to a wall. As the temperature is lowered, more and more structure develops until the droplet spontaneously crystallizes.

How crystals form: A theory of nucleation pathways

A theory of nucleation that is able to predict nonclassical pathways and intermediates for crystallization is formulated.

Antagonistic cooperativity between crystal growth modifiers

Impurities that individually impede crystal growth can paradoxically be less effective when combined.

Crystal Polymorphism Induced by Surface Tension

Classical DFT is used to compute surface solid-fluid surface tensions. The results help explain competition between BCC and FCC structures during crystallization.
