Abstract

We measured the homogeneous nucleation of sulfur hexafluoride using a diffusion cloud chamber under conditions that avoid the possibility of non-diffusive modes of transport within the cloud chamber thus ensuring reliable data from our measurements. We extended the critical supersaturation measurements into the critical region for SF6 using helium as background gas.
