  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011028",
  "term": "Solvent nucleation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The recondensation of solvent vapour onto solid particles or droplets carried in an aerosol. In sample introduction for atomic spectrometry, vapour from a nebulized solution recondenses onto particles or droplets as the aerosol cools in a spray chamber or transfer line. It differs from crystal nucleation in a supersaturated solution, which forms a new solid phase.",
