Properties of liquid clusters in large-scale molecular dynamics nucleation simulations

Properties of liquid clusters in large-scale molecular dynamics nucleation simulations

We have performed large-scale Lennard-Jones molecular dynamics simulations of homogeneous vapor-to-liquid nucleation, with 10(9) atoms. This large number allows us to resolve extremely low nucleation rates, and also provides excellent statistics for cluster properties over a wide range of cluster sizes. The nucleation rates, cluster growth rates, and size distributions …
