Abstract

The energy of crystal nucleation from liquid phase was considered, with the following two stages taken into account: (1) the formation of metastable supercooled melt (solution), containing pre-nuclei with intermediate amorphous (quasicrystalline) structure, and (2) the transformation of amorphous clusters into solid crystalline nuclei having different structures. With growth of a nucleus the nucleation energy profile manifests 2–3 maxima corresponding to these stages, and the kinetics of the non-stationary nucleation has five characteristic variations.
