NUCLEATION KINETICS OF C-70

Since the shape of C-70 molecule is prolate spheroidal, the same shape is assigned to the clusters of C-70 molecules and the nucleation para meters are evaluated using classical nucleation theory. Moreover, C-70 molecule is highly rotational and the rotational energy is included i n the nucleation kinetics of C-70 molecules. The supersaturation requi red for condensation of C-70 molecules is high compared to that of C-6 0. This theoretical prediction is compared with experimental observati ons.
