A thermodynamically consistent formalism is applied to calculate the reversible work needed to form an embryo of a new phase on a charged insoluble conducting sphere within a uniform macroscopic mother phase. An approximate procedure for the calculation of formation free energy of a spherical cap like embryo is described.
Keywords Heterogeneous nucleation, ion-induced nucleation
