2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Nucleation and Growth

This session welcomes contributions on experimental, theoretical, and computational studies of phenomena related to nucleation and growth, including vapor-to-liquid (droplet) nucleation, liquid-to-vapor (bubble) nucleation, precipitation and crystallization.
