A capillary-induced negative pressure is able to initiate heterogeneous cavitation

Soft Matter, 2024, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D4SM00143E, PaperShan Chen, Hongguang Zhang, Zhenjiang Guo, Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Xianren Zhang With molecular dynamics simulations we reveal that capillarity is able to induce spontaneous cavitation, for which heterogeneous nucleation can be described with classical nucleation theory.
