Classical DFT calculations of a liquid droplet attached to a wall. As the temperature is lowered, more and more structure develops until the droplet spontaneously crystallizes. 
Step growth in the presence of impurities is governed by thermodynamics - not kinetics. 
Mesoscopic Nucleation Theory is used to construct a two-variable theory of droplet muceation that reveals non-classical behavior. The figure shows the free energy surface for droplet nucleation with the horizontal and vertical axes being the cluster radius and the density inside the cluster, respectively. The line is the most likely path for droplet nucleation from an initial low-density vapor.
Microscopic observation of nucleation on a surface. 
Step growth has both deterministic and stochastic regimes 
Macrosteps can grow under conditions of low supersaturation and high impurity density such that elementary step growth is completely arrested. 
Nanoscopic pores are used to attract macromolecules. 
Freezing a nanodroplet deposited on a solid substrate leads to the formation of crystalline structures.. 
Crystal surfaces populated with macrosteps continue to grow even when single steps are stopped by surface bound impurities due to a novel mechanism exposed in our simulations: the macrostep facet provides an escape route for single steps to grow in the direction normal to the vicinal face, allowing crystals to break the kinetic barrier of the impurity fence. 
Classical DFT calculations of a liquid droplet attached to a wall. As the temperature is lowered, more and more structure develops until the droplet spontaneously crystallizes.
A theory of nucleation that is able to predict nonclassical pathways and intermediates for crystallization is formulated. 
Impurities that individually impede crystal growth can paradoxically be less effective when combined.
Classical DFT is used to compute surface solid-fluid surface tensions. The results help explain competition between BCC and FCC structures during crystallization.
