Bubble nucleation on nano- to micro-size cavities and posts: An experimental validation of classical theory

Bubble nucleation on nano- to micro-size cavities and posts: An experimental validation of classical theory

Recently reported data suggest that bubble nucleation on surfaces with nano-sized features (cavities and posts) may occur close to the thermodynamic saturation temperature. However, according to the traditional theory of heterogeneous bubble nucleation, such low nucleation temperatures are possible...
