class carmapy.Nuc(group_core, group_mantle, is_het, gas, mucos)#

An object representing a nucleation pathway.

Parameters:

  • group_core (Group) – The group forms the seed particle for the nucleation event. If homogeneous nucleation, should be the same as group_mantle

  • group_mantle (Group) – The group which forms as a result of the nucleation

  • is_het (bool) – if True, the nucleation is heterogeneous. If False, homogeneous

  • gas (Gas) – The gas resevoir which condenses

  • mucos (float) – The cosine of the contact angle between the gas and the seed particle. Ignored if is_het==False.
