Supercooling, undercooling and nucleation.

Volmer and Weber kinetic model

Volmer and Weber kinetic model [1] results in the following nucleation rate:

Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle I^{VW} = N^{eq}(n^*) k^+(n^*) = k^+(n^*) N_A \exp \left( -\frac{W(n^*)}{k_BT} \right) \label{eq_IVW} }

Szilard nucleation model

Homogeneous nucleation temperature

The homogeneous nucleation temperature (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle T_H} ) is the temperature below which it is almost impossible to avoid spontaneous and rapid freezing.

Zeldovich factor

The Zeldovich factor [2] (Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Z} ) modifies the Volmer and Weber expression \eqref{eq_IVW}, making it applicable to spherical clusters:

Zeldovich-Frenkel equation

Zeldovich-Frenkel master equation is given by
