Classical Nucleation Theory

Classical Nucleation Theory is a theoretical framework in physical chemistry and statistical mechanics that describes the initiation of first-order phase transitions by modeling the formation of stable nuclei through the balance of free energy changes associated with bulk phase transformation and interfacial energy costs.
