摘要
We show that consideration of both cluster growth and magic numbers are necessary to accurately calculate nucleation rates for the condensation of alkali and coinage metal vapors. The effects are not additive. Rates calculated using the modified theory differ up to several orders of magnitude from typical classical calculations. Calculated rates compare favorably with experimental nucleation onset and rate data for lithium, sodium, cesium, and silver. Verifiable predictions are made for the other alkali and coinage metals.
