Extension of microscopic theory of nucleation to macroscopic clusters

Abstract

Easily demonstrable relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic theories of type II superconductivity Am.A micros~~pic model of homogeneous nucleation is ext~nded to apply to macroscopic clusters.The defimtlon used for physical clusters is identical to that of Reiss, Katz, and Cohen, which . has also been introduced by Lee, Barker, and Abraham. Practical approximations have been employed to obtain results in closeq form. The Gibbs free formation energy and the nucleation rate are easil.y calculated in this approach. The extended macroscopic treatment is compared to recent expenmental data for methanol and ethanol. In these cases, the calculated nucleation rate agrees well with the experimental data. The agreement in both cases is consistent and far better than the classical theory.590

“…Several theories have been proposed with certain modifications to the classical theory. [126][127][128][129] Nevertheless, none of these modifications has resulted in universally better predictions than the classical theory. 65 A more realistic and better approach in nucleation calculations is to employ intermolecular forces at the molecular level.…”
