Molecular Simulation of Flow-Enhanced Nucleation in n-Eicosane Melts Under Steady Shear and Uniaxial Extension
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics is used to study crystal nucleation of n-eicosane under planar shear and, for the first time, uniaxial extension. A method of analysis based on the mean first-passage time is applied to the simulation results in order to determine the effect of the applied flow fie...
