Solidification Nucleation

Solidification Nucleation is a thermodynamic process in which a new solid phase emerges from a liquid through the formation of stable microscopic crystalline embryos, distinguished from other phase transitions by the critical balance between interfacial energy and bulk free energy reduction during the initial stage of solidification.
