Water cluster electron diffraction pattern

Some fundamental aspects of the nucleation process have been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) methods. In a recent review [44] the advantages and limitations of molecular cluster models in simulating the dynamics of nucleation and phase changes have been discussed. In this approach, molecular dynamic simulations are correlated with experimental nucleation rates extracted from electron diffraction patterns of molecular supersonic jets. The dynamics of freezing of ammonia, CCI4 and water, and the phase transformations of t-butyl chloride have been analysed. A useful feature of the MD computational...
