Biller, Helmut Baumgärtel, Thomas Leisner] The 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. © 2003 Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH Thermodynamics & statistical physics nationallicence Laboratory techniques, experiments nationallicence Physical chemistry nationallicence Weidinger Inez aut Klein Juliane aut Stöckel Peter aut Biller E. aut Baumgärtel Helmut aut Leisner Thomas aut Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie/International journal of research in physical chemistry and chemical physics Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH 217/12/2003(2003-12-01), 1597-1612 0044-3336 217:12/2003<1597 2003 217 zpch https://doi.org/10.1524/zpch.217.12.1597.20473 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1524/zpch.217.12.1597.20473 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Weidinger Inez aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Klein Juliane aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Stöckel Peter aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Biller E. aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Baumgärtel Helmut aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Leisner Thomas aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Zeitschrift für Physikalische Chemie/International journal of research in physical chemistry and chemical physics Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH 217/12/2003(2003-12-01), 1597-1612 0044-3336 217:12/2003<1597 2003 217 zpch CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
