29. The salt concentrations used were (Equation presented) and (Equation presented), which are slightly different from the experimental setup [6], but are in the range where the salt concentration dependence formula given by Koehler and Peyret [16] is applicable. In the simulations reported here, the simulation box volume was (Equation presented); this volume is important when mapping the results to experiment and can significantly affect the nucleation rate, but as we are not directly comparing to a specific experiment, it is an "arbitrary" parameter at this stage.
