Statistical prefactor and nucleation rate near and out of the critical point
Larissa V. Bravina, Eugene E. Zabrodin
Abstract
The nucleation rate derived in the classical theory contains at least one undetermined parameter, which may be expressed in terms of the Langer first-principles theory. But the uncertainties in the accounting for fluctuation modes, which are either absorbed into the free energy of a critical cluster or not, result in different evaluations of the statistical prefactor and nucleation rate. We get the scaling approximations of the nucleation rate for the vapour condensation both near and out of the critical range. The results obtained deserve the experimental verification to resolve the theoretical uncertainty. PACS numbers: 64.60.Qb, 05.70.Fh, 64.60.Fr, 64.70.Fx
