Comparison of Classical Nucleation Theory and Modern Theory of Phase Transition
Author(s): Baranov SABaranov SA
The formation of electrochemical phase is a typical example of a first-order phase transition. An overview on old and new thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the theoretical description of first-order phase transitions, and, in particular, of the theory of nucleation is given. Electrochemical nucleation of nanostructures has been considered in terms of the classical Gibbs and the Cahn-Hilliard-Hillert theories. We obtained agreement between the theories Kahn-Hilliard-Hillert and Gibbs. .. View More»
