| Abstract |
In a recent work we have reported molecular dynamics simulations for nucleation and crystal growth dynamics in unconstrained droplets of KCl. In the present article, we propose a model for the crystal growth dynamics inside unconstrained nanoscale systems. Despite of being a semi-stationary approximation, the main trends of the crystal growth behaviour are explained by the model. On the absence of available experimental data, the model is tested against simulation results with fairly good accordance. |
