abstract={This chapter focuses on a frontier for molecular simulation: nucleation of solute precipitates from solution. The chapter refers to simulations of solute precipitate nucleation with a fixed number of solute and solvent molecules simulations of “closed systems”. Two simple cases of heterogeneous nucleation are considered: (i) a spherical cap model for nucleation on a hard flat surface and (ii) a lens model for nucleation at fluid–fluid interfaces. Over the decade following the discovery of two'step nucleation, several computational studies have pointed to two'step nucleation as a more general phenomena occurring even at points where there is no metastable fluid–fluid critical point. Rare events simulation methods can relax many of the assumptions made by classical nucleation theory (CNT). The chapter concludes with case studies on laser'induced nucleation, and on nucleation of methane hydrates and calcium carbonate.},
