Excerpt
Introduction: Nucleation is the process by which the first microscopic fragments of a new phase are formed. If the nucleation process involves a pre-existing surface, it is termed heterogeneous nucleation; if not, it is termed homogeneous. Nucleation, either as a heterogeneous or as a homogeneous process, is an important and commonplace phenomenon. It is an integral of phase transitions. The formation of rain and snow, the boiling of liquids, the formation of crystals, and smog formation are but a few examples of commonly occurring phenomena involving nucleation.
