This paper focusses on the heterogeneous nucleation on the surface with the non-constant curvature. The formation of a spherical nucleus on the ellipsoid of rotation is considered. Following the classical nucleation theory, the work of formation of a critical nucleus on the ellipsoid of rotation has been given, and the effects of geometry sizes and the material properties of the ellipsoid of rotation...
A cave surface for heterogeneous nucleation is always assumed as a concave spherical or conical substrate. Nucleation in such assumed geometries has been well understood. However, a cave or a groove always has some cusps and certain lateral surface curvature. These geometries of a cave will have important effects on heterogenous nucleation. Here the nucleation in a cave with iso-curvature lateral...
