Abstract

By simple Monte Carlo simulation it is demonstrated that the capture of vapor molecules by a drop is affected by a dense background gas far from the Knudsen regime, and deep within the free molecule regime. The corresponding effect on steady-state nucleation is considered. For several representative examples the slopes of critical supersaturation vs carrier gas pressure are obtained and compared with experimental data.
