The model considered in part I is generalized to include growth mechanisms in which the chemical reaction which proceeds at the particle-atm osphere interface is reversible, so that molecules may evaporate from a particle as well as condense upon it. The Becker-Döring-Zeldovich-Frenkel theory of homogeneous nucleation kinetics is then reviewed in the light of the known statistical problem of the birth -and -death process, and an improved approximation is introduced which significantly alters the calculated results. Both steady-state nucleation kinetics and the time lag problem are discussed.

AbstractThe nucleation kinetics of n-alkane droplets with carbon numbers of 15 and 17 was observed in an electrodynamic balance. Changes in the elastic light scattering pattern of the single levitated microdroplets indicate the phase transition liquid to solid. Measurements of the nucleation rates gave information on the dynamics of the nucleation process and allow to propose a new mechanism for the nucleation. Large induction times observed for the C15H32 droplets indicate that the nucleation starts after a solid layer has been built up at the surface.
