Abstract
Nucleation, the birth of a stable cluster from a disorder, is inherently stochastic. Yet up to date, there are no quantitative studies on NaCl nucleation that accounts for its stochastic nature. Here, we report the first stochastic treatment of NaCl-water nucleation kinetics. Using a recently developed microfluidic system and evaporation model, our measured interfacial energies extracted from a modified Poisson distribution of nucleation time show an excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. Furthermore, analysis of nucleation parameters in 0.5, 1.5, and 5.5 pl microdroplets reveals an interesting interplay between confinement effects and shifting of nucleation mechanisms. Overall, our findings highlight the need to treat nucleation stochastically rather than deterministically to bridge the gap between theory and experiment.

Abstract
Salty water is the most abundant electrolyte aqueous mixture on Earth, however, very little is known about the NaCl-saturated solution interfacial free energy (γ_{s}). Here, we provide the first direct estimation of γ_{s} for several NaCl crystallographic planes by means of the mold integration technique, a highly efficient computational method to evaluate interfacial free energies with anisotropic crystal resolution. Making use of the JC-SPC/E model, one of the most benchmarked force fields for NaCl water solutions, we measure γ_{s} of four different crystal planes, (100), (110), (111), and (112[over ¯]) with the saturated solution at normal conditions. We find high anisotropy between the different crystal orientations with values ranging from 100 to 150 mJ m^{-2}, and the average value of the distinct planes being γ[over ¯]_{s}=137(20) mJ m^{-2}. This value for the coexistence interfacial free energy is in reasonable agreement with previous extrapolations from nucleation studies. Our Letter represents a milestone in the computational calculation of interfacial free energies between ionic crystals and aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Elevated temperature and pressure in the earth's subsurface alters the permeability of salt formations, due to changing properties of the salt-brine interface. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to investigate the mechanisms of temperature and pressure dependence of liquid-solid interfacial tensions of NaCl, KCl, and NaCl-KCl brines in contact with (100) salt surfaces. Salt-brine dihedral angles vary between 55 and 76° across the temperature (300-450 K) and pressure range (0-150 MPa) evaluated. Temperature-dependent brine composition results in elevated dihedral angles of 65-80°, which falls above the reported salt percolation threshold of 60°. Mixed NaCl-KCl brine compositions increased this effect. Elevated temperatures excluded dissolved Na+ ions from the interface, causing the strong temperature dependence of the liquid-solid interfacial tension and the resulting dihedral angle. Therefore, at higher temperature, pressure, and brine concentrations Na-Cl systems may underpredict the dihedral angle. Higher dihedral angles in more realistic mixed brine systems maintain low permeability of salt formations due to changes in the structure and energetics of the salt-brine interface.

Abstract
For over two decades, NaCl nucleation from a supersaturated aqueous solution has been predicted to occur via a two-step nucleation (TSN) mechanism, i.e., two sequential events, the formation of locally dense liquid regions followed by structural ordering. However, the formation of dense liquid regions in the very early stage of TSN has never been experimentally observed. By using a state-of-the-art technique, a combination of electrostatic levitation (ESL) and in situ synchrotron X-ray and Raman scatterings, we find experimental evidence that indicates the formation of dense liquid regions in NaCl bulk solution at an unprecedentedly high level of supersaturation (S = 2.31). As supersaturation increases, evolution of ion clusters leads to chemical ordering, but no topological ordering, which is a precursor for forming the dense disordered regions of ion clusters at the early stage of TSN. Moreover, as the ion clusters proceed to evolve under highly supersaturated conditions, we observe the breakage of the water hydration structure indicating the stability limit of the dense liquid regions, and thus leading to nucleation. The evolution of solute clusters and breakage of hydration in highly supersaturated NaCl bulk solution will provide new insights into the detailed mechanism of TSN for many other aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Permeability of salt formations is controlled by the equilibrium between the salt-brine and salt-salt interfaces described by the dihedral angle, which can change with the composition of the intergranular brine. Here, classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to investigate the structure and properties of the salt-brine interface to provide insight into the stability of salt systems. Mixed NaCl-KCl brines were investigated to explore differences in ion size on the surface energy and interface structure. Nonlinearity was noted in the salt-brine surface energy with increasing KCl concentration, and the addition of 10% KCl increased surface energies by 2-3 times (5.0 M systems). Size differences in Na+ and K+ ions altered the packing of dissolved ions and water molecules at the interface, impacting the surface energy. Additionally, ions at the interface had lower numbers of coordinating water molecules than those in the bulk and increased hydration for ions in systems with 100% NaCl or 100% KCl brines. Ultimately, small changes in brine composition away from pure NaCl altered the structure of the salt-brine interface, impacting the dihedral angle and the predicted equilibrium permeability of salt formations.

Abstract
Dissolutive wetting, i.e., dynamic wetting of a liquid droplet on dissolvable substrates, has been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. In dissolutive wetting, the geometry and properties of the solid-liquid interface evolve with the solid dissolving into the droplet; meanwhile, the droplet spreads on the receding solid surfaces. The droplets advance on the dissolvable substrate following different dynamic laws, compared with spreading on nondissolutive substrate. On the basis of molecular kinetic theory, we develop a theoretical model to reveal physical mechanisms behind the dissolutive wetting phenomena. We also find that solid particles are pulled by their hydration shells to dissolve into liquid, changing the flow field, the atomic structure, and the hydrogen bond network in the droplet. Our findings may help to comprehend the dynamics of dissolutive wetting and assist future design in practical applications.

Abstract
This article investigates the mechanism behind the creeping of sodium chloride induced by additives. Here, an experimental approach is complemented with theoretical considerations to describe how creeping patterns of brine evolve and how the introduction of additives into the solution affects the morphology of the resultant crystals. We have found that these additives cause kinetic roughening and morphological instability mainly due to the reduction of surface free energy. There was also a marked increase in three-dimensional nucleation of the NaCl crystals and thus branching.

Abstract
We review several commonly used simulation methods for computing liquid–vapor surface tension and associated theoretical treatments of the long-range correction for inhomogeneous systems. Prototype model systems considered in this review are the Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluid and the SPC/E model water. In addition, we examine a variety of factors that can affect calculation of the surface tension γ via the mechanical approach (i.e. using either KB or IK method). It is found that for the LJ fluid, the size of simulation box and the number of particles in the system can have notable effects on the computed surface tension. For SPC/E water, the Ewald parameters can influence computed surface tensions (γ) as well, e.g., very small Ewald parameters tend to overestimate γ. It is also found that the IK method consistently gives γ that are 0.6 - 0.9 mN/m greater than γ computed based on the KB method. When computing the first reciprocal–space contribution to the surface tension, the Ghoufi's strategy gives rise to more sensible profile of pressure difference PN(z)-PT(z) than the Alejandre's strategy although both strategies result in nearly the same average surface tension through the integration of PN(z)-PT(z).

Abstract
A complete description of the thermodynamics of planar mixed solute-solvent interfaces suitable for the analysis of computer simulation data is provided. The approach uses surface probability distributions to characterize the interface regions, coupled with radial distribution functions and the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solutions to characterize the bulk solution properties. The approach is then used to understand the relationship between changes in the surface tension, the degree of surface adsorption or depletion, and the bulk solution properties of two aqueous solute systems. The first, aqueous NaCl solutions, provides an example of a surface excluded solute. The second, aqueous methanol solutions, provides an example of a surface adsorbed solute. The numerical results support the theoretical relationships described here and provide a consistent picture of the thermodynamics of solution interfaces involving any number of components which can be applied to a wide variety of systems.
