Probing the nucleation of iron in Earth’s core using MD simulations of supercooled liquids
Classical nucleation theory describes the formation of the first solids from supercooled liquids and predicts an average waiting time for a system to freeze as it is cooled below the melting temperature. For systems at low to moderate undercooling, waiting times are too long for freezing to be obser...
