Thermodynamic and Transport Properties

Droplet levitation makes it possible to explore a number of thermodynamic phenomena that are not easy to study in bulk systems. For example, studies of concentrated electrolyte solutions by conventional methods are limited by the fact that crystallization generally occurs at relatively low supersaturations due to the presence of foreign particles and surfaces that promote heterogeneous nucleation. Containerless processing, that is, droplet levitation offers the possibility of suppressing heterogeneous nucleation thereby allowing a high degree of supersaturation to be reached before homogeneous nucleation leads to crystallization.
