Abstract: Modeling of nucleation and growth processes were performed by molecular dynamics method. Time of nucleation and speed of clusters growth were obtained for different densities and temperatures. The base of classical nucleation theory was tested and recommendations for multi scaling modeling of nucleation process was done.

Keywords: metal nanoparticles, condensation, computer simulation.
