基于表面张力、临界核尺寸和成核速率的分子模拟数据对经典成核理论的修正

Modification of the classical nucleation theory based on molecular simulation data for surface tension, critical nucleus size, and nucleation rate

Martin Horsch, Jadran Vrabec, Hans Hasse

摘要:

在正则系综下,用两组分子动力学模拟研究了过饱和蒸汽的成核过程。所采用的方法是:(a)通过模拟小系统中单个液滴与周围蒸汽的平衡,分析中等过饱和度下的临界核;(b)模拟含有10^5至10^6个颗粒的大系统冷凝过程中的均匀成核,以计算高过饱和度下蒸汽的成核速率。对于Lennard-Jones流体,截断和移位在2.5倍的尺寸参数,它表明,经典的成核理论低估了成核速率和临界核的大小。提出了一种表面性质校正的修改这个理论,以始终覆盖数据的弯曲界面的表面张力,临界核尺寸,和成核率。

英文摘要:

Nucleation in supersaturated vapor is investigated with two series of molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. The applied methods are: (a) analysis of critical nuclei at moderate supersaturations by simulating equilibria of single droplets with surrounding vapors in small systems; (b) simulation of homogeneous nucleation during condensation with large systems containing 10^5 to 10^6 particles for calculating the nucleation rate of vapors at high supersaturations. For the Lennard-Jones fluid, truncated and shifted at 2.5 times the size parameter, it is shown that the classical nucleation theory underestimates both the nucleation rate and the size of the critical nucleus. A surface property corrected modification of this theory is proposed to consistently cover data on the surface tension of the curved interface, the critical nucleus size, and the nucleation rate.
