Induction periods were measured for various supersaturated aqueous sol
utions of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate doped with ammonium oxala
te monohydrate by the direct vision method. Various critical nucleatio
n parameters were calculated based on classical theory for homogeneous
crystal nucleation and the results reported and discussed. The critic
al nucleation parameters increased with increase in doping concentrati
on.
