Abstract

A detailed examination of the translation–rotation paradox in the theory of nucleation is presented. An earlier conclusion, due to Reiss and Katz, that the paradox is associated with the neglect of the fluctuation of the center of mass of a liquid-drop nucleus is reaffirmed. Transformations of coordinates are performed quantitatively in order to demonstrate this fact. Furthermore, the fluctuation of the center of mass is computed for a lattice model. A new factor not appearing in the classical theory of nucleation appears, but it is much smaller than the factor introduced by Lothe and Pound and only becomes important for large nuclei.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
