Nucleation Thermodynamics

Nucleation Thermodynamics is a subfield of Materials Thermodynamics that specifically addresses the thermodynamic principles governing the initial formation and stability of new phases or structures from a metastable state, distinguishing itself by focusing on the energy barriers, interfacial effects, and fluctuations critical to the onset of phase transformations.
