Abstract

Scaling of the vapor-to-liquid nucleation rate is examined in a model Lennard-Jones system using Monte Carlo derived rate constant ratios for growth and decay of small clusters. The model assumes a dilute vapor system of noninteracting clusters and the steady-state nucleation rate formalism expressed as a summation over products of rate constant ratios. The nucleation rates so obtained are examined in a scaling plot, - log[J/10 ²⁶ ] vs. C _o [T _c /T-1] ³ /(lnS), the form of which has been recently used to test the consistency of nucleation rate data.
