The formation of nanoscale clusters-nanofilms/quantum dots predicted using a capillary model of nucleation

This paper describes the theoretical and simulation studies of both homogenous and heterogeneous nucleation, the phenomena that refers to the formation of stable nuclei prior to the growth of nanoclusters including nanofilms and quantum dots. Essentially, a single cluster may contain few thousand...
