Abstract
AN investigation of drop-formation in D2O vapour, which was supersaturated by means of adiabatic expansion in a modified Wilson apparatus1, gave the following values of the critical degree of expansion (E = 2/1) for D2O/H2O mixtures, with and without an electric field: Tabs. is the temperature of the vapour before expansion.
