Abstract
Induction periods were measured for various supersaturated aqueous solutions of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate doped with ammounium oxalate monohydrate by the direct vision method. Various critical nucleation parameters were calculated based on classical theory for homogeneous crystal nucleation and the results reported and discussed. The critical nucleation parameters increased with increase in doping concentration.
