Multiscale nucleation models
Nucleation as well as crystallization and growth of nuclei are important steps in numerous processes and applications, found in the inanimate and animated world. It could be shown that these processes can follow different pathways, classical and non-classical nucleation, which can be addressed by MD simulations. However, the different stages of these processes are on complete different time and size scales. Therefore, studies on different resolution levels, coarse-grained, atomistic and quantum mechanic levels, are needed and have to be linked to give a insight view in the underlying mechanisms.
