This chapter offers an overview of recent applications of the metadynamics method to the study of nucleation and related phenomena. In the first section, the classical nucleation theory and the metadynamics method are introduced. The second section is devoted to applications, including computational studies of the surface tension, which affects the size and energy of critical nuclei, and investigation of crystal nucleation from the amorphous and supercooled liquid state.

Abstract

This chapter offers an overview of recent applications of the metadynamics method to the study of nucleation and related phenomena. In the first section, the classical nucleation theory and the metadynamics method are introduced. The second section is devoted to applications, including computational studies of the surface tension, which affects the size and energy of critical nuclei, and investigation of crystal nucleation from the amorphous and supercooled liquid state.
