Abstract

Nucleation in the supercooled Yukawa system is relevant for addressing current challenges in understanding a range of crystallizing systems including white dwarf (WD) stars. We use both brute force and seeded molecular dynamics simulations to study homogeneous nucleation of crystals from supercooled Yukawa liquids. With our improved approach to seeded simulations, we obtain quantitative predictions of the crystal nucleation rate and cluster size distributions as a function of temperature and screening length. These quantitative results show trends towards fast nucleation with short-ranged potentials. They also indicate that for temperatures T>0.9T_{m}, where T_{m} is the melt temperature, classical homogeneous nucleation is too slow to initiate crystallization but transient clusters of ∼100 particles should be common. We apply these general results to a typical WD model and obtain a delay of ∼0.6 Gyr in the onset of crystallization that may be observable.

单组分汤川体系的结晶成核速率。
汤川系统的过冷成核与解决当前的挑战有关,包括白矮星(WD)恒星的一系列结晶系统。我们使用蛮力和种子分子动力学模拟来研究过冷汤川液体晶体的均匀成核。通过我们改进的种子模拟方法,我们获得了晶体成核速率和簇大小分布作为温度和筛选长度的函数的定量预测。这些定量结果显示出具有短范围势的快速成核趋势。他们还指出,对于温度T>0.9T_{m},其中T_{m}是熔体温度,经典的均匀形核太慢而不能开始结晶,但瞬态的~ 100个颗粒团簇应该是常见的。我们将这些一般结果应用于典型的WD模型,并获得了可以观察到的结晶开始延迟约0.6 Gyr。
