Abstract
The specific basis for a criticism by Renninger et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 75, 1584 (1981)] of Doyle’s technique for finding the saddle point on the free energy surface of a two-component liquid droplet [J. Chem. Phys. 35, 795 (1961)] is refuted. However, extensions of this technique to modify the Kelvin and Laplace relationships seems invalid as argued by Renninger et al. The technique’s validity is probably confined to capillary nucleation theory for a two component system.
