nucleatsioonimäära
Nucleation rate refers to the frequency at which new stable nuclei form within a metastable phase during a phase transition. This phenomenon is crucial in processes like crystallization, precipitation, and the formation of bubbles in boiling liquids. The nucleation rate is highly dependent on factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of impurities or defects.
There are two primary types of nucleation: homogeneous and heterogeneous. Homogeneous nucleation occurs spontaneously within the
The rate of nucleation is often described by an exponential function, reflecting the probabilistic nature of
