Experimental nucleation data was analysed in the framework of scaling relations stemming from the nucleation theorem. Differences between the classical nucleation theory and experimental data were given as displacement barrier heights, D(T). For molecular liquids, most of the analysed data gave D(T) with similar magnitude and trend. Also other studied substances follow similar temperature trend, though it is not always clear if deviations from this trend are due to uncertainty in nucleation rate data or assumptions behind the scaling relation.
Keywords Homogeneous nucleation, nucleation experiments, classical nucleation theory, nucleation theorem, displacement barrier height, scaling.
