NucleationFluxMagnitude#

Source: models/kwn/NucleationFluxMagnitude.py

Magnitude of the nucleation flux (excluding the Dirac delta term).

Computes \(J = Z \, \beta \, N_0 \, \exp\!\bigl(-\Delta g / (k T)\bigr)\), where \(Z\) is the Zeldovich factor, \(\beta\) is the kinetic factor, \(\Delta g\) is the nucleation barrier, \(T\) is the temperature, \(N_0\) is the nucleation site density, and \(k\) is the Boltzmann constant.
