Abstract

Throughout this book we compared the predictions of theoretical models with available experimental data. This chapter is aimed at providing a reader with a flavor of experimental methods used in nucleation research. As in the previous chapters, we focus on vapor to liquid nucleation as most of the experimental studies refer to this type of transition.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term “vapor” in this chapter is used for the condensible component; while the term “gas” refers to the carrier gas.

  2. 2.

    If instead of vacuum the particle is emerged in a homogeneous medium with the refractive index\(m_\mathrm{medium }\), the wavelength should be replaced by \(\lambda _\mathrm{vacuum }/m_\mathrm{medium }\).
