Cluster Formation at Extreme Supersaturations
Nucleation versus Barrierless Transition
We study the process of cluster formation at extreme supersaturations and identify the temperature-supersaturation domain where evaporation can be neglected resulting in a barrierless process with kinetics dominated by the dimer formation. The cluster size distribution obeys the

The solid–vapor interfacial free energy γsv plays an important role in a number of physical phenomena, such as adsorption, wetting, and adhesion. We propose a closed form expression for the orientation averaged value of this quantity using a statistical mechanical perturbation ap

The in-gas-jet laser spectroscopy method relies on the production of uniform and low-temperature gas jets to fully resolve the atomic hyperfine structure and efficiently determine fundamental nuclear properties of short-lived isotopes from, e.g., the hardly accessible actinide an
