Phenomenological and semi-phenomenological models of nano-particles freezing

Studies of nucleation in freezing nanoparticles usually assume that the embryo of the solid phase is completely wet by the liquid and forms in the core of the droplet. However, recent experiments and computer simulations have suggested that some nanoparticles start nucleating at the liquid-vapor int...
