Supercooling, undercooling and nucleation.

Volmer and Weber kinetic model

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

Szilard nucleation model

Homogeneous nucleation temperature

The homogeneous nucleation temperature () is the temperature below which it is almost impossible to avoid spontaneous and rapid freezing.

Zeldovich factor

The Zeldovich factor [2] () 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

See also Shizgal and Barrett [3].
