| Abstract: | The new form of size distribution function of small nanoclusters is obtained by means of the principle of maximum information entropy. Surprisingly, for saturated and supersaturated vapor this function is not a monotonic one. It was shown that normalization constant of this distribution function depends on supersaturation in the system. Some new results of calculation of nucleation rate of graphite-like carbon clusters are presented. The transition to barrierless nucleation of carbon clusters is predicted for relatively small supersaturations. |
