Abstract

This work reexamines seeded simulation results for NaCl nucleation from a supersaturated aqueous solution at 298.15 K and 1 bar pressure. We present a linear regression approach for analyzing seeded simulation data that provides both nucleation rates and uncertainty estimates. Our results show that rates obtained from seeded simulations rely critically on a precise driving force for the model system. The driving force vs. solute concentration curve need not exactly reproduce that of the real system, but it should accurately describe the thermodynamic properties of the model system. We also show that rate estimates depend strongly on the nucleus size metric. We show that the rate estimates systematically increase as more stringent local order parameters are used to count members of a cluster and provide tentative suggestions for appropriate clustering criteria.

Description:

This archive contains 3 directories...

1) Figure 1/
Contains the electrolyte chemical potential data sets as calculated in this work and as extracted from earlier work by some of the authors. Each data set in figure 1 is stored as a two-column ASCII text file with the molality in the first column and the corresponding electrolyte chemical potential in the second column.

2) nucleus_size_vs_time/
Contains, for each of three molalities, nucleus size vs simulated time data for a range of initial nucleus seed sizes (nsphere). Each seed
nucleus size directory contains multiple sub-directories corresponding to a different way of assigning NaCl ions to clusters, identified as s_1 to s_5. Several realisations of each trajectory are provided for averaging purposes. Each realisation is stored as a seperate ASCII
text file with multiple columns described by the header.

3) SM/
Additional data series used in producing the plots within the supplementary information. Formatted as two-column ASCII text files x,y.
