Two-component Heterogeneous Nucleation in the Martian Atmosphere.

We have been modeling binary nucleation in the Martian atmosphere, which has not been investigated before. The properties of the nucleating water- carbon dioxide system are unknown, which brings up the need for assumptions. The binary nucleation model shows interesting results for binary nucleation at the initial stages of unary water nucleation, but only when assuming ideal mixture. The nonideal mixture is less favorable for the process. Keywords Heterogeneous nucleation [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
