Abstract
The nucleation parameters, such as radius of the critical nucleus and criti cal free energy change have been evaluated for LAP single crystals. The int erfacial tension determined by conducting the induction period measurements has been used for the evaluation of nucleation parameters. The determined interfacial tension is found to be comparable with theoretical literature v alues.
