THE ROLE OF THE SOLID LIQUID INTERFACIAL-TENSION IN THE CLASSICAL NUCLEATION THEORY IN COOLING CRYSTALLIZATION/

Theoretical average particle number N-c was determined by Nielsen meth od of the classical nucleation theory via calculation of the solid/liq uid interfacial tension from induction time [1]. The theoretical resul ts are compared to the experimentally determined average particle numb ers. The theoretical and experimental particle numbers show good agree ment, which indicates the use of the calculated interfacial tension in planning the crystallization experiments of the given system.
