It is known that many physicochemical processes in aerosol systems with nanoscale particles and in nanoparticles themselves depend on the particle size. The influence of size dependence of the condensation coefficient on gas-phase nucleation was discussed in (Levdansky et al., 2010). Some problems related to nucleation in confined space, in particular the depletion effect of the ambient phase, were considered in (Kožíšek et al., 2011; Schmelzer and Abyzov, 2011). Here we study the size effects in homogeneous nucleation inside nanoparticles related to size dependence of the effective rate constant for the attachment of monomers to the critical cluster.
