Wegener, P P

Experimental results on the condensation of pure nitrogen in the supersaturated state are collected. New experiments on pure N2 and N2 in He are added. A comparison of experiment and the classical theory of nucleation using the liquid drop approach and recent work by Pal and Hoare computing energies of formation of microclusters of Lennard-Jones N2 is made. The new results give satisfactory agreement with experiment in their range of applicability.
