The Role of Concentration in Determining NaCl Nucleation Mechanism: A Story of Pathways Coexistence

Deciphering the microscopic details of crystal nucleation remains a key open problem in chemical physics. For aqueous sodium chloride (NaCl), the extent to which nucleation involves amorphous ion aggregation, and the supersaturation regime in which two-step-like behavior emerges, remains actively debated. In this work,...
