Abstract
The Langevin stochastic approach is applied to describe the new phase nucleus development in the multi-stationary state transition. The stochastic equation for the nucleus growth is obtained in the limits of “large” and “small” nuclei. Random pushes are essential to overcome the critical nucleus size. The subsequent growth proceeds dynamically. Asymptotic expression for the transition time is given.
