Fran binary and ternary to multicomponent nucleation: Atmospheric aerosol formation

摘要

Multicomponent homogeneous nucleation is considered in the case of dominant and trace species (with respect to embryo composition). The free energy of embryo formation for multicomponent homogeneous nucleation has been derived for systems with several dominant species, e.g., water+sulfuricacid and a number of trace substances. This treatment is based on a differential version of the capillarity approximation. It is considere
