Nucleation: The process by which gas bubbles or droplets form in a supersaturated solution or vapor, often leading to phase transitions. Supersaturation: A condition in which a solution contains ...

For example, homogeneous nucleation, in which a new particle is formed directly from the gas phase, creates particles on the order of a nanometer in diameter (Hirsikko et al., 2011). These ...

Nanoparticles are created from the gas phase by producing a vapor of the product material using chemical or physical means. The production of the initial nanoparticles, which can be in a liquid or ...
