摘要：

We compare different methods for obtaining nucleation rates from molecular dynamics simulations of nucleation, using the condensation of Lennard-Jones argon as an example. All methods yield the same nucleation rate at the conditions where they can be applied correctly, with discrepancies smaller than a factor of 2. We critically examine the different approaches and highlight their respective strengths and possible limitations.
