We studied the gas-liquid nucleation in Yukawa fluids by employing the density functional theory (DFT) and considering variable-range interaction forces between the particles of a one-component fluid. As a result, some interfacial quantities are sensitive in this kind of interaction (density profiles, principal tensors, mechanical surface tension and dividing radius), while some are not (pressure difference, density at the drop centre, equimolar surface tension).
