Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Non-Photochemical Laser-Induced Nucleation: Electrolyte Clustering by Nanoparticle Heating

Non-photochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN) is a process where a crystalline phase is formed out of solution by exposure to a laser beam. In NPLIN, the nucleation probability is strongly dependent on the beam intensity and weakly dependent on the wavelength. NPLIN offers a feasible alternative to energy-intensive industrial...
