Article Abstract

A theoretical description of heterogeneous nucleation kinetics is presented. This description takes into account the perturbation of the vapor phase initiated by the growing droplets. The form of the density profile around the growing droplet is analyzed and some special approximations are given. Then the process of nucleation in the whole system is described. As a result all the main characteristics of the process are determined analytically.
