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 method of the classical nucleation theory via calculation of the solid/liquid interfacial tension from induction time [1]. The theoretical results are compared to the experimentally determined average particle numbers. The theoretical and experimental particle numbers show good agreement, which indicates the use of the calculated interfacial tension in planning the crystallization experiments of the given system.
