Critical volume fraction and critical size for a cluster to nucleate

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-03-17 v1

Abstract

Combined with the principle of entropy maximum and CS state equation, the critical size for a cluster to nucleate then the critical volume fraction of a phase transition is determined in this paper, and our result is in good agreement with the experiments. Furthermore, no parameter is introduced in the discussion.
