Nucleation and growth

The progress of solidification involves two distinct stages: nucleation and growth. Nucleation involves the appearance of very small particles, or nuclei of the solid (often consisting of only a few hundred atoms), which are capable of growing. During the growth stage these nuclei increase in size, which results in the disappearance of some (or all) of the parent phase. The transformation reaches completion if the growth of these new phase particles is allowed to proceed until the equilibrium fraction is reached.
