Abstract
The scaling properties of the critical nucleus, as proposed recently by McGraw and Laaksonen, are analyzed in the context of density functional results for simple Lennard-Jones systems. A simple phenomenological approach with no adjustable parameters is introduced to test the validity of these scaling relations in describing the nucleation behavior of nonpolar and weakly polar vapors.
