Abstract

Reports on a computational study of homogeneous liquid-vapor nucleation in the Lennard-Jones fluid. Use of the umbrella sampling Monte Carlo simulations to calculate free energy barriers to homogeneous liquid-vapor nucleation; Decrease in calculated free energy barriers with increased superheating.
